Brace for Higher Prices: 16 Popular Brands Adjusting Costs Due to Tariffs

Brands Raise Prices Amid Tariff Pressures

In recent months, many brands have raised their prices because tariffs are rising. American buyers now face higher costs as they shop in many sectors. Electronics and home goods both see these changes.

Understanding the Tariff Landscape

The United States now adds a 10% tariff to most imports. It adds a 30% tariff to goods from China. Companies pay more to bring old-made products into the U.S. Even makers at home feel this cost. They need imported parts or materials for packaging and production. Some companies try to cover extra fees. Yet many pass the costs on to shoppers. This has driven prices up in recent weeks. Shoppers now might consider buying soon, as more price rises seem likely.

Many brands now push up their prices due to tariffs. Here are some examples:

Home and Appliances

The Black+Decker 12V Max Cordless Drill/Driver now costs around $95. The company warns that prices may climb later this year.
