Why Prices Have Increased: Understanding Section 232 Tariffs

At TireChain.com, we pride ourselves on providing high-quality products and services at competitive prices. However, you may have recently noticed an increase in our prices, and we want to be transparent about the reasons behind this change.

What is Section 232?

Section 232 of the Trade Expansion Act of 1962 allows the U.S. government to impose tariffs on imported goods that it deems important to national security. In 2018, Section 232 tariffs were implemented on steel and aluminum imports, which directly affect industries that rely on these materials—like ours.

How Does This Affect Us?

Many of the products we manufacture or source require steel or aluminum. With these tariffs in place, the cost of acquiring raw materials has significantly increased. While we’ve worked hard to absorb as much of this added cost as possible, the continued rise in tariffs has made it impossible to maintain our current pricing without compromising quality and service.

Why We’ve Increased Prices

The price adjustment is a direct result of the increased costs we face due to the Section 232 tariffs. We understand that price changes can be challenging, and we want to assure you that we remain committed to providing you with exceptional value despite these external pressures.

Looking Ahead

We continue to monitor trade policy and work closely with our suppliers to manage costs as effectively as possible. Our goal is to minimize price impacts while ensuring you continue to receive the products you trust and rely on.

We appreciate your understanding and ongoing support during this time of change. If you have any questions about these adjustments or want to discuss alternative solutions, please don’t hesitate to reach out to our team.

Thank you for your continued partnership.
