Q & A

Q: Why the U.S.-China tariff conflict affects prices in Canada and globally?
A: In the film gear industry, the U.S. market accounts for nearly half of the global share. For any international brand, U.S. import tariffs play a significant role in determining overall global costs. The sharp increase in U.S. tariffs on Chinese imports has dramatically raised the cost structure for Chinese brands, as well as for products tied to the Chinese supply chain—such as the iPhone. This surge in total cost inevitably drives up global pricing. As a result, the U.S.-China tariff conflict not only impacts prices within the U.S. market but also affects pricing in other regions, including Canada and Europe.
Q: How soon will the price increase happen?
A: The tariff conflict between China and the U.S. is still escalating, with no signs of easing. One thing is certain: tariffs are unlikely to return to previous levels. Price hikes are unavoidable—but no one can say exactly how soon they will come. If you’re planning to buy, don’t wait.
Q: Some items are currently available at pre-order prices, like the Nucleus M-2. If prices go up later, will I need to pay the difference if I’ve already placed a pre-order?
A: No, you won’t need to pay any extra.
