Qwertykeys halts keyboard shipments to US over tariff costs and confusion
Briefly

Qwertykeys has temporarily halted shipments to the United States in response to President Trump's tariffs on Chinese goods, which impose a 45% tariff on keyboards shipped to the U.S. The company is negotiating with DHL and seeking alternative logistics providers to find solutions to mitigate rising shipping costs. The halt will last 72 hours, during which Qwertykeys also acknowledges their inability to send replacement parts due to complications with the U.S. Postal Service. The tariffs significantly impact their current shipping methods, threatening both business viability and customer affordability.
"We are closely watching the progress of the situation and really hope that there is something else we can do other than bumping the price up," the company wrote in a comment on Reddit.
"All keyboards from China to the U.S. are now subject to 45% tariffs at full value," highlight the drastic pricing changes affecting both the business and customers.
The company plans to pause shipping for 72 hours, during which it will negotiate with DHL and alternative logistics providers to obtain fairer tariff-handling solutions.
Due to the recent tariff changes, Qwertykeys stated that shipping costs have become unsustainable, leading to a complete halt of shipments to the U.S.
