We’re delaying opening pre-orders for Framework Laptop 12 in the US. We’re still opening orders for the other countries we ship to tomorrow (April 9th), now at 10am PT.
We’re incrementally making adjustments for US customers as tariff impact comes into effect, starting from changes that are most reversible. That is, temporarily delisting SKUs or delaying listing new SKUs is easy to undo if we see tariff reduction or mitigation. (cont)
We’re holding the next step, repricing products for sale in the US, until we have final confirmation that there is no alternative. We'll keep you updated as we make changes, as well as on when we'll be able to open Framework Laptop 12 in the US. (cont)
As a reminder, although we are US-headquartered, we manufacture our laptops in Taiwan. That means we currently face a 10% tariff importing to the US, increasing to 32% on April 9th. The basis of our products and company is longevity, and we're making these changes to ensure we're able to continue to deliver on our mission for the long term.
@frameworkcomputer Will prices be unaffected for customers outside the US?
@weebull "We’re incrementally making adjustments for US customers as tariff impact comes into effect, starting from changes that are most reversible."
@frameworkcomputer That just tells me that US customers are affected, but I don't know if you ship to non-US customers from the US (and so would be subject to US import tariffs first) or direct from somewhere else (avoiding them entirely).
