Now that the summer weather is beginning to heat up we hope you are able to stay cool and find plenty of time to craft. We would like to share with you some information about the impact of tariffs on the crafting industry. We would also like to share with you the new paper collections from Graphic 45 and Stamperia and the projects made by our design team.

Tariffs
New tariffs are being imposed on goods received from countries around the world. Many crafting products are manufactured in China. Others, such as Stamperia and Ciao Bella are manufactured in Europe. We are the importers of these products. As such we may be responsible for paying the tariffs that are imposed on goods imported from overseas. The cost of the tariffs will most likely increase the cost of our products to our customers.
Currently, a 30% tariff has been imposed on crafting products manufactured in China. Previously there was an $800 de minimis exemption for tariffs of $800 or less. However, for China, that exemption no longer applies. Importers of products coming from countries outside of the United States will be required to pay the tariffs. Since Scrap N Create purchases goods directly and indirectly from China, we are responsible for paying the tariffs on those goods. For that reason we will no longer be purchasing any products that are made in China. That includes the charms and filigree that we have been including with our orders. Also, products from China, made for Stamperia and Ciao Bella, since they are also subject to tariffs when they arrive in the United States.
New tariffs of 10% will soon be imposed on products imported from the European Union. However, at this time, the $800 de minimis exemption will continue to apply to those items. In the past, the majority of our orders from Stamperia and Ciao Bella have exceeded $800. Now our goal will be to keep each of our orders from those suppliers under $800, so that we will not need to increase our prices to our customers. Again, we will no longer be purchasing products from Stamperia and Ciao Bella that have been made in China, since those products will be subject to 30% tariffs.
