Global trade policies and tariffs continue to create volatility in supply chains, driving up costs and complicating cross-border logistics. In a significant development directly affecting pallet costs, the White House recently announced an increase in tariffs on steel and aluminum imports from 25% to 50%, effective June 4, 2025. This move aims to protect domestic industries but is expected to raise costs across various sectors, including pallet manufacturing and supply as the cost of steel fasteners is rising significantly.
At Neopal, we closely monitor such developments and take proactive steps to minimize the pricing impact to the extent possible, while ensuring we insulate our clients from any supply disruptions. We help our partners stay ahead of regulatory changes, and our agile operations and strategic sourcing practices are designed to deliver consistency, reliability, and peace of mind—no matter how the trade winds shift.
