RetroTINK announced a temporary suspension of US shipments due to a lack of guidance on how to collect tariffs set to begin on May 2nd. The company's Mike Chi expressed concerns over potential delays and lost packages without clear procedures. He confirmed that shipments will resume once they have established ways to pre-pay tariffs on behalf of customers. Other businesses, like Fangamer, are also affected by these tariffs, leading to delays in product preorders and price estimations, marking a significant impact on small companies in the gaming sector.
RetroTINK is temporarily suspending US shipments due to uncertainties regarding tariff collection procedures, aiming to ensure customer service without risks of delays or lost packages.
Mike Chi states that without proper tariff collection procedures, the risk of delays and lost packages is simply too high, prompting the temporary halt on shipments.
The company anticipates that the tariff situation will eventually be resolved but cannot predict the timeline or method of resolution, creating operational uncertainties.
Fangamer is also affected by new tariffs, leading to delays in preorders as they struggle to ascertain the final pricing for products manufactured abroad.
