Framework has announced a temporary halt on US sales of particular laptop configurations due to newly imposed tariffs on Taiwanese imports. This decision affects specific models including the Intel Core Ultra 5 125H and AMD Ryzen 5 7640U versions of the Framework Laptop 13, which were initially priced under a 0% tariff. As a result of the 10% tariff, the company cannot maintain profitability on lower-end models, prompting the removal of those configurations from their online store.
"We priced our laptops when tariffs on imports from Taiwan were 0 percent. At a 10 percent tariff, we would have to sell the lowest-end SKUs at a loss."
"Other consumer goods makers have performed the same calculations and taken the same actions, though most have not been open about it."
