How to Avoid Import Tariffs on Display Hardware with U.S.-Based Manufacturing

If your AV or display project involves importing enclosures, kiosks, or custom hardware, there’s a good chance you’ve felt the hit of international shipping delays and surprise tariffs.

At SSI, we help integrators, fabricators, and OEM partners avoid those issues entirely — by building everything right here in the U.S.

Here’s how we help your next project stay on budget and on time:Display hardware manufacturing facility showing imported and U.S.-built enclosures side by side, highlighting tariff-free production


✅ 1. U.S.-Based Production = No Import Fees

Custom AV enclosures, transparent displays, and digital signage kiosks sourced overseas are often subject to:

  • Steel and aluminum tariffs

  • Crate and freight costs

  • Unexpected customs duties

When you work with SSI, everything is designed and built in California — so there’s no red tape or border delays.


✅ 2. Predictable Pricing, Every Time

With offshore supply chains, even small changes in material costs or trade regulations can throw off your quote.

At SSI, you get:

  • Fixed pricing

  • Tariff-free hardware

  • Clear turnaround times

And yes — we’ll tell you exactly when it ships.


✅ 3. AV-Specific Customization, Done Locally

Need a display with embedded touch sensors? A projection enclosure tuned for a 120° throw? Or a transparent OLED panel mounted inside custom glass?

We don’t send those specs overseas — we build them in-house, so:

  • Prototypes are faster

  • Revisions are easier

  • Quality is consistent


✅ 4. Faster Delivery to U.S. Job Sites

We regularly ship to:

  • Museums

  • Stadiums

  • Universities

  • Retail installs

  • Airports & transit centers

Local delivery from a U.S. facility means less lead time, fewer logistics, and better control.
