Q: What is the Supply Chain Cost Offset?
A: This is a temporary 10% line item added to all orders starting May 1, 2025. It helps cover increased costs driven by current U.S. tariff policy changes.

Q: Is this a price increase?
A: No. Product pricing remains the same. This offset is a separate line item.

Q: Why is this necessary?
A: Certain tariffs remain in place and continue to impact the cost of materials. The offset is a way to share those costs fairly without changing base prices.

Q: Is Sioux City Tarp making money from this?
A: Absolutely not. We are sharing the increased burden with our suppliers and absorbing part of the cost ourselves.

Q: Will this offset ever go down?
A: Yes. If tariff conditions improve or are rolled back, we will reduce or remove the offset accordingly.

Q: How will I see this on my invoice?
A: It will appear as a separate line item labeled Supply Chain Cost Offset (10%).

Q: Why didn’t you just raise prices?
A: This offset reflects temporary external cost pressures. When conditions normalize, the fee can be adjusted—something not easily done with a permanent price change.
