The recent changes in US import policies have led to an increase in tariffs for products manufactured in China. The exemption for imports under $800 has been removed, and an additional 10% tariff has been introduced. As a result, Supernote devices and accessories now face higher tariff costs: 10% for devices and 18-40% for accessories.
To continue offering high-quality e-ink products while keeping costs manageable, Supernote has decided to adjust prices for the US market. These changes are expected to take effect in three days, although the timeline may shift depending on further policy updates.
Price Adjustments
- Supernote Manta Devices: Price increase will cover half of the new tariff cost, with Supernote absorbing the rest.
- Supernote Nomad Devices: Due to lower margins, prices will rise by about 80% of the tariff.
- Accessories: The tariff cost will be split between Supernote and customers, leading to a moderate price increase.
If you’ve already placed an order that hasn’t shipped—including Supernote Manta pre-orders—Supernote will cover the additional tariff costs for you. However, US Customs processing may cause shipping delays.
Supernote acknowledges that price increases are never ideal. This decision was made after careful consideration, and the company appreciates the continued support of its users. They remain committed to innovation and maintaining transparency with their community.
