Tariffs on imports from Taiwan to the US have returned to 10% for 90 days. With that, we’ve returned US pricing on items we manufacture in Taiwan back to their original pricing. For our lowest-priced base systems, where we’re unable to absorb the remaining 10% tariff, ordering is still paused for US customers. Many of our modules are manufactured in China, which now face higher tariffs. On these items, we are keeping elevated pricing for now to cover the tariff cost. We’ll continue to monitor this situation and update pricing if needed.
Note that our system configuration pricing combines a Taiwan-origin system (the laptop/desktop itself) and China-origin modules (Bezels, Expansion Cards, Framework Laptop 16 Input Modules), so US pricing reflects the elevated module costs due to tariffs.
We’re also working through the launch plan for US pre-orders of Framework Laptop 12, and we’ll share updates on this soon. We’ve reserved manufacturing capacity to be able to ship US pre-orders alongside the existing pre-order batches.
