Navigating Tariff Uncertainty – Our Commitment to You
Dear Valued Customer,
As the current tariff landscape continues to evolve, we want to directly address the implications this may have for your business and reaffirm Comtrad’s unwavering commitment to supporting you through it.
We understand that changes in trade policy, especially tariff-related cost volality, can create significant challenges to budgeting, pricing, and long-term planning. At Comtrad, our priority is to protect your supply continuity and cost stability as best as possible—no matter the external pressures.
To that end, we want to assure you of three things:
• We are prepared. Over the past year, we have proactively developed a mitigation strategy designed to address tariff-related cost increases. This includes initiatives across sourcing, inventory planning, and pricing strategies; all aimed at limiting customer exposure and enabling greater flexibility.
• We are acting. We are actively working with our supplier networks and internal
operations teams to evaluate regional sourcing alternatives, optimizing costs, and identifying efficiencies that can be passed on to you. Our focus remains on ensuring minimal disruption to the flow and cost of goods you rely on.
• We are here for you. Your Comtrad team will continue to provide transparent, timely communication as developments unfold. We are available to review specific impacts to your product lines and partner with you to tailor solutions that reflect your unique needs.
Uncertainty is never easy, but it’s something we’ve weathered before together. With over 50 years of experience in global sourcing, Comtrad has built its reputation on agility, integrity, and long-term partnerships. We remain committed to earning your trust every day.
If you have questions or would like to explore how Comtrad can help you respond to tariff impacts more effectively, please don’t hesitate to reach out to your account manager or contact me directly.
Thank you for your continued confidence in Comtrad.

Overseas sourcing is a significant challenge for most businesses. Finding the right suppliers who will provide ethical, reliable, and timely service paired with excellent pricing is difficult if you haven’t done it before or don’t have long-term, trusted relationships. Combine that with potential language barriers, shipping, customs, and all of the other steps that are included in bringing a product into North America such as development and certifications, and it can be overwhelming.
For over 40 years we have held ourselves to the highest ethical standards, and our five-point screening process ensures that we only use socially responsible suppliers. Our entire purpose is to make product sourcing simple and risk-free for our customers, with custom-tailored solutions.
We are the experts at finding appropriate manufacturers and ensuring product quality and certifications. We also handle overseas payment, funding, delivery timelines and importation and trade issues. Leave the complexity and intricacies of overseas sourcing to our experts, and you’ll receive the custom products you need, on time and on budget.
Comtrad also manufactures and distributes functional hardware lines to fulfill the market’s need for economical products of superior quality and reliability.
