Xylem Tariff Letter

Dear Valued -Selling Partner, 
  
I wanted to inform you of important updates to our 2025 pricing. 
 
Due to recent changes in international trade policies, we are seeing increased costs for certain raw materials used in the manufacturing of our products—costs that are outside of our control. As a result, we are implementing a temporary tariff surcharge of 7% on all products ordered from the factories in Yellow Springs, Ohio, and San Diego, CA, effective May 5th, 2025. 
 
At Xylem, we are proud to support domestic jobs and invest in American communities through our U.S.-based manufacturing. While we strive to source and produce as much as possible in the US, some specialized raw materials and components are still only available through international suppliers. The new tariffs directly affect the cost of these imported materials, making it necessary for us to implement a temporary tariff surcharge. 
 
Please note:
 
  • The surcharge applies to all orders placed on or after May 5th, 2025
  • The surcharge will be itemized separately on your invoice for transparency.
  • We will continue to monitor market and policy developments closely and adjust the rates accordingly, which may be upward or downward.
  • We remain committed to delivering high-quality, American-made products and ensuring supply chain stability, even in challenging market conditions. We are also actively working on opportunities to reduce the impact of tariffs on our customers  where possible.
In addition to the tariff surcharge, we are discontinuing some items and adjusting some of our list prices. In our ongoing efforts to maintain the highest quality of our products and services, we have carefully evaluated our product lines. Effective June 1st, 2025, Xylem Analytics will be implementing a price increase on a small portion of our offering. This decision has not been made lightly, and we want to reassure you that we have taken every measure to limit the impact on our valued customers.
 
The average price increase of 6% will apply primarily to items that are less frequently purchased, ensuring that the products you rely on most remain as affordable as possible. By focusing on these select items, we aim to manage costs effectively while continuing to deliver the excellence you expect from us.
 
The mid-year price increase impacts the following product lines:
 
  • Bellingham and Stanley
  • Gerhardt
  • SI Analytics
  • SonTek
  • WTW
  • YSI EMS, WQS, Life Sciences, IQ SensorNet
We truly appreciate your partnership.
