September 3rd Update

Dear Partner:

Zebra continues to closely monitor government policy as it relates to tariffs with China. As you know, the products impacted, and the tariff percentages mandated are fluid based on government and trade implications. Zebra employees at all levels, and across all organizations, including our Executive Leadership team continue to work hard to minimize the impact for you and your customers.

Although current U.S. tariffs rates are as high as 30% on various goods imported from China, Zebra list price increases resulting from these tariffs remain significantly lower. As an added benefit, and, to provide consistency and predictability in our pricing, we continue to honor all previously approved price concessions and have avoided additional surcharges or fees on our products.

Recently, the U.S. Government announced that tariffs on Mobile Computers with cellular connectivity will be delayed. Therefore, the 5% list price increase on the following Zebra products will be delayed until December 16, 2019: 

• ET55X Tablets, both Windows and Android OS
• ET56X Windows OS Tablets (WIN in Product Sub Family)
• MC67XX and MC67-KIT KAT
• TC25XX, TC56XX, TC57XX, TC75X, TC77X
• M60 (formerly Xplore) Mobile Computers

The remaining list price increases announced on August 2, 2019 are still scheduled to take effect on September 16, 2019: 

• All Printers – 2.5%
• Selected Mobile Computers and Tablets with Wireless LAN connectivity – 5%
• Selected legacy Microsoft OS Mobile Computers – 10%

This increase is a combination of tariff impacts and increased costs from component and manufacturing partners and will help ensure continued availability during migration or transition from Legacy Microsoft OS products to alternative Zebra Android products

Messaging from Honeywell

August 21st

Dear Valued Partner,

Over the last 12 months, the United States has experienced a tumultuous trade climate, specifically with products manufactured in China. Recognizing this, Honeywell took immediate actions to optimize our supply chain and relocate outside of China.

Given these proactive steps, we are pleased to announce that Honeywell WILL NOT be making any changes to the list price of our products as a result of the recent List 4 imposed tariffs announced by the USTR.

At a time when many other industry players are raising prices by as much as 10%, Honeywell is maintaining current pricing for our valued channel partners, enabling you to:

• Maintain current pricing for your customers
• Preserve your company’s profitability
• Make more money selling Honeywell solutions

As a reminder, Honeywell has transitioned manufacturing from China to Mexico for a large number of products. Products manufactured in Mexico are denoted with an “N” in the part number. These products are identical to “the non-N” versions in all aspects including specifications and performance. The only difference is the manufacturing location.
