Dear AdVantage Line Distributor Partners:

We want to make you aware of a situation we have been monitoring closely and must bring to your attention. As you may have heard, the United States Government has imposed a tariff of 10% on products that are manufactured in China and then imported and sold in the United States. This tariff went into effect on September 24th and will potentially grow to 25% on January 1, 2019. Many of AdVantage Line’s products fall into the tariff categories which are subject to the new tariff. Despite us taking actions to decrease and minimize the effects, the impact of this government policy is significant to our business and will become more significant if the tariff increases.

Due to the tariff, the cost of select products will increase starting November 1, 2018. Any orders placed prior to November 1st will not be affected by this price increase. Please take this into consideration as you assess your purchasing plans and feel free to contact us with any questions.
