Update on Tariff Surcharge Adjustment

Dear Valued Customer,

Following our earlier communication dated May 13, 2025, we are writing to inform you about a necessary adjustment in our surcharge policy due to ongoing and intensifying cost pressures from the imposed tariffs.

As stated previously, we had implemented a partial line surcharge of 5% on all new and ongoing orders from July 15, 2025, in response to the increasing financial burden caused by these tariffs. Despite our continuous efforts to absorb a portion of these costs internally, the current market dynamics have required us to reassess the impact.

In light of the recently published trade agreement between the EU and the USA, and its additional implications for our supply chain and cost base, we must take further action to preserve our service and quality standards. Therefore, effective September 1, 2025, the surcharge will be increased to 7.5% for all deliveries leaving our facility. This measure is necessary to ensure we can continue to serve you reliably under the evolving global trade conditions.

We remain committed to actively monitoring the situation and will continue to adjust our pricing in line with future developments. Should the tariff environment improve, we will promptly reevaluate and, where possible, reduce or remove the surcharge.

We sincerely appreciate your continued trust and understanding. Should you have any questions or require further clarification, please do not hesitate to contact us.

With Best regards

Universal Hydraulik USA, Corp
