Temporary surcharge: Solenis said the action is “a direct response to rising costs tied to global trade policy changes”

Solenis will temporarily apply a minimum 5% surcharge on all products and services sold in the United States, effective 1 May 2025.

The company said the action is “a direct response to rising costs tied to global trade policy changes”, including a 145% tariff on China-sourced goods and new global baseline tariffs at or above 10%.

It added that the temporary surcharge “is intended to offset these external pressures without compromising product availability or service quality.”

Ed Connors, Chief Business Officer, Americas, said: “We know our customers are focused on controlling their costs.

“Our goal is to minimise the impact while continuing to deliver strong value and a dependable supply to our customers.”

Solenis said it is also taking steps including:

  • Limiting increases wherever possible through strategic sourcing
  • Prioritising localised production to reduce exposure to international cost swings
  • Leveraging the strength of its global supply chain to cushion cost impacts and protect continuity of supply.

Connors added: “We will continue to monitor global trade conditions closely.
“Should trade pressures ease, we are prepared to reassess the surcharge accordingly.”
