QS Tariffs

 

 

June 20th, 2025: Announcement

Planning Ahead: Quickscrews’ Response to the Most Recent Tariffs

 

This update continues our series of communications following our March 6 and April 4 emails, which addressed recent U.S. tariff developments. It provides the latest information on trade policy changes affecting the materials we use to produce the world’s best woodworking screws.

 

New Tariff Announcement – June 4, 2025

On June 4, the U.S. government announced an additional 25% tariff on imported steel and aluminum under Section 232 of the Trade Expansion Act. This brings the total tariff rate to 50%, effectively doubling the previous increase.

This policy change directly impacts the base materials used to manufacture the woodworking screws professionals have trusted for nearly four decades.

 

Quickscrews’ Response to the Additional Tariff Increase

At Quickscrews, we believe your business can remain protected—and better prepared—through clear, early communication. This update reflects our proactive approach: anticipating change, responding with purpose, and identifying creative ways to support long-term partnerships.

In the past three weeks, we have taken the following steps:

• Re-evaluated material sourcing and vendor relationships to secure the most cost-effective and reliable options.

• Reorganized internal operational budgets to absorb the bulk of cost increases before they reach our customers.

• Expanded our Tariff Resource Page to include this update and provide a full archive of all prior tariff communications.

 

Price Adjustment Notification – Effective Monday, July 14, 2025

To account for these material cost increases, Quickscrews pricing will increase by 9.5%, effective Monday, July 14, 2025.  Website pricing for online orders placed at Quickscrews.com has already been adjusted.


This adjustment ensures continued access to the legendary woodworking fasteners that cabinet makers and craftspeople have come to rely on—backed by a family-owned business that understands the challenges these changes create for both small shops and large-scale operations.

2025 Update Announcement of Pending Price Increase

 


The United States Government has instituted a 25% nationwide duty (tax) on derivative articles of steel, which includes all Quickscrews manufactured in Taiwan. This duty went into effect on March 12, 2025. Determining the least disruptive way to address this cost increase has been a priority, but it must be passed on through increased pricing.

 

Overseas freight continues to be impacted by the ongoing international conflict, where the Houthis, a designated terrorist group, are firing on international shipping vessels. Some recent stabilization in freight costs has been observed, which provides an opportunity to help limit the impact of the duty increase.

 

Efforts are being made to push primary manufacturers to reduce pricing in order to assist in keeping costs down and offset the additional duties. The goal is to achieve up to a 5% decrease in finished goods material costs to help further offset the increase.

 

Based on current information, a price increase will take effect on April 28th. Two implementation methods are being considered. The increase will be the same in both cases, but applied differently:

 

Surcharge on Orders – A percentage-based surcharge will be applied to each order to cover the additional duties. Order confirmations and invoices will include a surcharge box displaying the percentage added and the extra charges due to the duties.

 

Updated Price Lists – Customer price lists will be updated to reflect the new pricing. Once completed, customers will be notified and can request their updated price lists as needed.

 

The exact percentage of the increase is still being determined, with expectations ranging between 6% and 11%. Additional time is needed to focus on reducing the increase and the effects it would have on the valued craftspeople and businesses that rely on Quickscrews’ 37 years of fastener expertise and service to build, create, and deliver quality work. Every effort will be made to implement the least impactful changes to business operations.

 

Respectfully,

Greg Wiener
