Effect of the new US Tariffs
New US Tariffs
Firstly, Wifitrax products are made in Australia, not China or Hong Kong.
Australia is the country of origin of all Wifitrax products.
Read the White House Fact Sheet Wifitrax has not changed the prices of most of its products since introduction, so unfortunately you as a US customer will have to pay whatever tariffs apply. We think that a 10% tariff is a small price to pay for the benefit of our unique products.

Retail Customers
When exported to the USA from Australia our products will be subject to a 10% tariff by the US Customs and Border Protection after April 5 2025. However most retail customers orders are less than USD800 and the De-Minimus exception MAY still apply (see below). The way this is implemented will depend on the shipping carrier, e.g. US Postal Service or DHL.Wifitrax Dealers
Wifitrax dealer's orders over US$800 will be subject to a 10% tariff after April 5, and therefore dealers may understandably factor this into their pricing accordingly. Usually buying from Wifitrax dealers will save you time and shipping costs.De-Minimis Shipments
Many orders are less than USD800. They currently are not subject to any tariff. However, President Trump's administration is planning to remove the De-Minimus exemption for shipments from China and Hong Kong after May 2 2025. It appears that this may not apply to other countries, so shipments under US$800 may still qualify for zero tariff. However, THIS IS NOT CURRENTLY CLEAR.Read the White House Fact Sheet Wifitrax has not changed the prices of most of its products since introduction, so unfortunately you as a US customer will have to pay whatever tariffs apply.

Wifitrax Component Sourcing
90% of the components used to make our products come from distributors in the USA thus we help in a small way to support jobs in the USA. Many components supplied by US distributors, stocked and shipped from the USA, are sourced from countries such as Taiwan, Indonesia, China etc. Thus they would be subject to the new tariffs when sold in USA. However components shipped from USA to Wifitrax in Australia are NOT subject to US tariffs and Australia applies zero tariffs to these imports from the USA. Thus the prices we pay are not affected. Should this change in the future we may need to adjust our prices.Disclaimer: All of the above is supplied as guidance to our customer and is correct to the best of our current knowledge.
