Community Update 04/25/2025: Tariffs and Their Impact

Hi everyone,

I want to take this opportunity to give a quick update to the community on how tariffs might impact Apos’ operations. This is a forward looking update and it doesn’t affect anything currently.

As of now, there are no changes in prices (unless already announced) or timelines of shipments of orders, until otherwise communicated on the product page. Backordered products are marked as such on Apos, and we always include a note with an expected shipping date.

When I say that this is a forward looking update, I mean it pertains to the upcoming change at customs starting May 2nd. De Minimis exemptions for goods shipping from China are going away on May 2nd. This will result in a steep increase in the volume of shipments needing to be processed by US Customs. We will not know the reality until after May 2nd, but our current expectations are that there will be a backlog of shipments at the ports, resulting in delays of shipment delivery, and, in some unfortunate cases, loss of packages.

During this ever-changing situation, we are making sure to communicate with the community and our brand partners to keep everyone apprised. We will continue to post blog updates as and when required. Emails will also be sent out whenever a Community Update is published. In the short term, we are also implementing a post purchase email to provide new community members access to this update along with a reminder that they can reach out to our Support Team (support@apos.audio) at any time to check on the status of their order.

Quick note on Apos 𝒙: We have been working on a lot of great products within the Apos 𝒙 platform in the background and some of these have been affected by the tariffs. However, we are still moving ahead. We expect to bring ‘cool’, ‘valuable’, and ‘lovable’ products/experiences (your words, not mine 😁) to the community this year.

Please feel free to email me in case you have any questions regarding this update at kunal@apos.audio. If you are looking for status update on your order, please email support@apos.audio.

Thank you!
