Tariff Talk, Transparent Pricing, and Our Commitment to You

Elephants are not normally associated with the advent of Spring, but this Spring, there is a ‘tariff-elephant’ in the room that can't be ignored. Here at North of the Border Fireworks, my wife, Gwen, and I want to bring clarity to you, our customers, and put your minds at ease. We have been very proactive, stretching all the way back to December when we brought in two shipments to begin to bolster our inventory at 2024 prices. As we entered into the new year, we continued to take actions that would mitigate the impact of any tariffs on our pricing. We initiated some pre-tariff shipments, we put some down payments on some pre-tariff orders so that the supplier would hold the price at pre-tariff levels, and we have maintained vigilant communication with our suppliers to take advantage of any freight and product reductions available to those who responded promptly. Consequently, the impact will be minimal. By the time July 4th arrives, we will have limited the increase to 10%. When compared to the size of the tariffs being employed against Chinese imports, a 10% increase is simply good stewardship. Our promise to you, our valued customers, is that we will do everything within our power to keep your costs reasonable and fair. We are in this for the long run. We want you to return time and time again with the confidence that we will continue to bring you the best quality, the best service, and the best pricing possible.

We are honored to be your fireworks supplier. Thom and Gwen Hill, Owners
