I am pleased to continue offering TierraCast products despite the financial challenges associated with importing. Due to fluctuating currency conversion rates and tariffs imposed on goods imported from the European Union, prices may vary when I restock. The past few months have been turbulent, but I believe things are stabilizing for now.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
- The cost increase is approximately 25% compared to last year.
- Starting August 1, 2025, the tariff on EU imports is expected to be 15%. (It's been 10% for the past several months) This will eventually affect the Czech beads as my suppliers incur the costs on their purchases and pass them along to me. You may have already seen some price increases and some products may increase a little as I restock.
- While the news and government may suggest that other countries bear these tariffs, the reality is that I pay the tariff when I bring the goods into the US. Additionally, currency conversion rates (billed in Euros) are currently fluctuating between 15-18%.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I understand the importance of offering these products to sustain my business, so I am willing to absorb part of these costs rather than pass them on to my valued customers. Rest assured, I am providing the best possible price that allows me to remain profitable and continue purchasing additional products for you.
If you are interested in bulk bags, I can offer additional discounts. I place monthly orders to Greece and receive them promptly.

Please reach out if you have any questions or concerns about these issues.
