U.S. Businesses Are Feeling the Tariff Squeeze—Here’s What You Can Do About It

May 2, 2025

Across the U.S., businesses are bracing for impact as new import tariffs ripple through the supply chain. For companies relying on commercial printers, copiers, and mailing equipment—especially those in logistics, education, legal, and healthcare—this means one thing: higher prices and longer wait times.

Printers and copiers aren’t just office equipment. They’re mission-critical tools. And now, with tariffs driving up costs on production materials and finished goods, even routine purchases are becoming cost-prohibitive. These pricing shifts are already affecting major retailers and big-box chains. Delays in availability and sudden jumps in costs are leaving companies with little room to plan, and even less room to save.

But not all businesses are caught off guard.

Beat the Tariff Hike with UBS’s Pre-Tariff Inventory

Universal Business Solutions (UBS), a veteran-owned and independently operated provider based in Tampa, is stepping in to offer relief. As a platinum Epson dealer with strong distribution partnerships, UBS made strategic quarterly purchases—stocking its warehouse before the tariffs took effect.

That means businesses can still access:

  • Tariff-free printers and mailing equipment

  • Pre-tariff prices on high-volume Epson commercial models

  • Same-week shipping from in-stock inventory

From local schools and law firms to national logistics providers, UBS clients are locking in savings before the market resets.

Time is Ticking: Offers Only Good While Inventory Lasts

UBS has committed to honoring all outstanding proposals with pre-tariff pricing—but only while in-stock inventory lasts. Once those units are gone, the new prices will reflect not just the added tariffs but also increased administrative and handling costs tied to the new import restrictions.

If you’re planning to upgrade your fleet, lease new machines, or replace aging hardware, now’s the moment to act.

Talk to a Real Partner Who’s Already Prepared

Unlike the national retailers adjusting prices on the fly, UBS anticipated this disruption. Their local inventory is ready to ship, and their team is ready to help.

Whether you’re looking to buy printers before tariffs hit your bottom line, or simply want the best printer discounts in Tampa, you won’t find a better window than this.
