Pool Tariffs Are Coming, Buckle Up - Joe Trusty

Tariff Policy - Pool & Hot Tub Alliance

 

We switched to a plus chems model back in 2022 which will help us to stay on top of the rates for chemicals. We also customize every estimate to the customer which requires us to double-check inventory from our distributors to include additional fees such as shipping (some of our distributors are now adding shipping fees for orders less than a certain dollar amount). All of these add to the cost of business. This is a lot more work on the admin side - but it definitely helps us keep our P&L in check.
