Weekly Update #12

24 March – 28 March 2025

Tariff Timing

This week, our industry has settled into the uncertainty surrounding the timing and scope of any tariff announcements.  

Team Elenteny has been busy talking with our vendors, customers, and industry contacts via direct emails and phone calls about the shifting landscape of potential tariffs and what this means for businesses across the country. 

We have been heavily focused on orders with an arrival date after tariffs may take effect and working to secure alternate plans for a worst-case scenario. 

We want to thank all of our customers this week for working with us to recalibrate as quickly as possible as new information comes to hand. 

Please email the team at answers@elentenyimports.com if you have any questions.
