Cost Increase on Import Steel and Aluminum- What’s Next?

Important Notice

Noah’s Park & Playgrounds will always
strive to provide quality park and playground equipment at fair and reasonable
prices. But sometimes, completely out of our control, the cost of imported
steel and aluminum can create a little hiccup in our mission.

On March 8, 2018, after a nearly
yearlong Section 232 investigation by the Department of Commerce, the Trump
Administration announced broad sweeping tariffs on steel and aluminum imports.

Thus far, with the
tariff announcement now in effect, three of Noah’s product manufacturers— Superior RecreationMyTCoat,  National Recreation Systems and Dero– f
ound it necessary to add a
surcharge to all future quotes and orders. The surcharge rates are between 2% to 5%, depending on the company.

So
far, these manufactures total only 4 of the 40 vendors Noah’s partners
with, to increase their costs due to this tariff increase. That means others
could follow suit. Make sure to LIKE or FOLLOW us on Facebook and Twitter, or subscribe to our newsletter 
to
stay-in-the-know about any updates on cost increases due to the tariff
increases.
