Due to newly enacted and proposed tariffs on imported goods, many manufacturers and suppliers have begun adjusting pricing across a wide range of products. At IdentiSys, we’re committed to keeping you informed and helping you plan ahead for any potential disruptions or cost increases.
What’s Being Affected?
We’ve already received notifications from several of our partners that the following product categories will see pricing changes due to tariff impacts:
- ID card printers
- Printer ribbons and blank cards
- Proximity cards and smart credentials
- Badge holders, lanyards, and clips
- Security system components like readers and related access control equipment
While we’re working hard to absorb some of the increases internally, some of these rising costs will unfortunately need to be reflected in customer pricing.
Why Are Prices Increasing?
Tariffs are being applied to a broad set of imported goods, creating cost pressure on many essential components and finished products used in the identification and security industries.
The Good News
We maintain strong relationships with a variety of manufacturers and suppliers across the globe. We are actively sourcing and shifting inventory where possible to minimize disruption and cost.
We understand there are still many unknowns, but rest assured—we’re in this together. Our team is in constant communication with our partners and working proactively to manage inventory and mitigate risks. Many of our customers can still benefit from our well-stocked warehouse to avoid immediate impacts.
What You Can Do
Some of these increases are set to take effect in the coming days and weeks. To help you avoid possible higher costs, we recommend connecting with your rep and locking in your pricing now, if necessary. Placing upcoming orders ahead of the changes could lead to significant savings.
Our team is ready to assist you in planning ahead and identifying the best options for your needs. We’re here to help you stay ahead of changes and ensure your identification or security program runs smoothly and efficiently.
We will continue to monitor this evolving situation and keep you updated.
