We know the recent US tariff announcements might be causing some uncertainty, so we’d like to clearly explain what this means for your print on demand business.
Key clarification:
These tariffs only apply to shipments valued over the current $800 de minimis threshold. This means that unless your shipments typically exceed $800 in value, your business is unlikely to be directly impacted by the changes.
How Prodigi protects your business:
-
Global print network: Our network includes more than 80 printing facilities in over a dozen countries. This global presence allows us to print locally, significantly reducing the impact of cross-border tariffs.
-
Intelligent order routing: Orders are automatically sent to the nearest suitable facility, ensuring faster production, lower shipping costs, and consistent delivery times, despite any tariff shifts.
-
Price stability: By operating facilities close to your customers, we minimise exposure to customs fees and tariff-related price hikes, keeping your costs predictable and stable.
Current situation in the US:
We’re closely tracking potential adjustments to the de minimis threshold and any other tariff developments. At the moment, our existing setup continues to offer substantial protection. Additionally, we’re actively exploring expanded US production options for products currently produced internationally, aiming to find cost-effective solutions even in a changing tariff environment.
UK stability:
Our UK operations remain stable. However, we are proactively preparing for any future tariff scenarios to ensure continued stability.
Bottom line:
Most print on demand orders fall comfortably below the $800 threshold and remain unaffected. Prodigi is already structured to manage these tariff changes effectively, meaning your day-to-day operations should continue smoothly.
