What Are Tariffs Really Costing Your AV Projects?
What Are Tariffs Really Costing Your AV Projects?
Let’s break it down.
If you’re sourcing display hardware, projection enclosures, or digital signage systems from overseas, there’s a good chance tariffs are quietly draining your budget — even if the invoice doesn’t say it out loud.
💸 What Do Tariffs Actually Add?
Depending on the category of goods and the country of origin, you could be paying:
-
10–25% in import duties
-
Shipping fuel surcharges
-
Customs brokerage fees
-
Holding fees for delayed clearance
-
Repackaging or rework due to damage in transit
All of that adds up — often after the quote has been approved.
❌ It’s Not Just About Money
When tariffs and delays hit:
-
You miss deadlines
-
You get stuck re-explaining cost increases
-
Your team has to find workarounds mid-project

You risk your reputation — not just your margin
