A comprehensive, running list of brands increasing prices due to tariffs

A comprehensive, running list of brands increasing prices due to tariffs

NBC News16-05-2025

Don't be surprised if your cart seems more expensive than usual the next time you shop — brands and retailers are raising prices on products across categories due to tariffs. There's currently a 10% tariff on imports from all foreign countries and a 30% tariff on Chinese imports. That means companies now have to pay a higher fee when they bring items manufactured overseas into the U.S. And even if they make products in the U.S., companies might get their packaging, materials and ingredients abroad, the cost of which recently skyrocketed. Brands and retailers are absorbing tariffs themselves to some degree, but customers will feel the effects through price hikes, too.
Below, I rounded up a comprehensive list of companies who just raised prices due to tariffs. As there are more announcements (including when Walmart's price hikes officially happen), I'll update this article.

What brands are raising prices due to tariffs?
The companies below already raised prices due to tariffs, and they may have to do so again depending on which countries remain subject to higher reciprocal tariffs. (They're currently on a 90-day pause that expires in July). That said, costs may go up even more, so if you're interested in any of the below items we recommend buying now to avoid further increases.
Sitewide price hikes went into effect on May 1. The brand makes some of our favorite window air conditioners, air purifiers and fans. They all connect to the brand's app so you can control them remotely.
Stanley Black & Decker
Stanley Black & Decker raised prices on its tools, home, kitchen and outdoor products in April and says it 'notified our customers that further price action is required,' according to a statement on its website. That means you can expect to see another round of price hikes later this year. Before then, stock up on supplies you might need in the near future, like drills, tool kits, vacuums and leaf blowers.
Uppababy
Uppababy raised prices across most of its products on May 5, according to an announcement the brand posted on its website. It's best known for its strollers and car seats, but also makes other baby products, like high chairs, changing backpacks and bouncers. NBC Select reporter Harry Rabinowitz used the brand's Aria car seat to travel with his newborn, and he still uses the brand's Vista V2 stroller with his now 11 month old. Rabinowitz recommends buying from the brand if you're looking for high quality pieces and peace of mind as a parent.
Diggs
Diggs increased prices across its pet products on May 2, according to an email it sent customers, and says it may have to further adjust prices if necessary. The brand makes some of our favorite essentials for dogs across ages, including the Revol Crate, which won an NBC Select Pet Award. I also use Diggs' Evolv Crate with my five month old puppy.
Apparel, footwear and accessories
Ana Luisa
Ana Luisa's price hikes went into effect on April 9. Increases only apply to select items, but the brand didn't specify which ones. Ana Luisa specializes in hypoallergenic and tarnish-resistant jewelry, and each piece comes with a two-year warranty to protect your purchase. 'This brand is my go-to for jewelry,' says NBC Select updates editor Mili Godio. 'The styles are super cute and trendy, and the quality actually holds up — I've had Ana Luisa rings, earrings and necklaces for over a year and they haven't tarnished, even after not taking them off before showering or washing my hands.'
Fabletics
Fabletics added a $6.00 tariff surcharge to all orders for members and non-members. You'll see it reflected in the order details on your receipt. The brand is best known for activewear like leggings, which we've tested, but you can also shop swimwear, loungewear and intimates, as well as men's apparel. 'I have a Fabletics workout set that I use during sweaty, high-intensity workouts, and it never stretches out or sticks uncomfortably to my skin,' says Godio. 'Plus, the sports bras come in the cutest silhouettes — I have one that zips in the middle, which makes it both flattering and easy to take off.'
Kuru increased prices across all products in April, according to the brand. We recommend the brand's Tread Sandal in our guide to shoes with arch support; you can also shop sneakers, slippers and boots for men and women.
Labucq
Labucq increased prices by about 10% on April 15, and by another 10% on May 7, according to a post it shared on Threads. The brand's shoes, boots, sandals and accessories are made in Italy. NBC Select editorial project manager Rebecca Rodriguez has a pair of heeled loafers from Labucq, who says they're made from a high-quality leather and feel sturdy and comfortable once you break them in.
Great Jones
Great Jones' price hikes went into effect on May 1. In an email sent to customers, the brand says you may also see select products periodically out of stock. I use its cookware and bakeware daily, like the Holy Sheet Pan, All Aboard Beyond Measure and Big Chill.
Souper Cubes
Souper Cubes has been transparent with customers via email about the challenges it's facing due to tariffs throughout the past few weeks. It's currently grappling with a 44-times increase in customs expenses, leading the brand to search for new manufacturing partners. Souper Cubes is raising prices on May 16 for any items it needs to restock. The dishwasher-safe silicone molds are one of my must-have meal prep tools, which I use to freeze soup, broth, sauces, cooked grains and vegetable purees.
Bean & Bean
Bean & Bean, one of our favorite AAPI-owned brands, sent customers an email in March explaining why coffee costs more these days and informed them that the company started adjusting pricing in response. Bean & Bean did not specify whether all or only specific products were affected.
Omie
Omie, which makes bento boxes and mealtime accessories for adults and kids, raised prices on April 18, according to a post it shared on Instagram. The brand says it's 'hoping this situation is only temporary.'
Nintendo is launching its highly anticipated Switch 2 on June 5 for $449.99 — for now, the brand isn't increasing the price of its handheld gaming console. However, it raised prices on a handful of Switch 2 accessories on April 2 'due to changes in market conditions,' according to a post on the brand's website. Nintendo also says 'other adjustments to the price of any Nintendo product are also possible in the future depending on market conditions.'
In April, Foreo raised prices on its skin care tech and beauty products by 20 to 30%, according to the brand. I've used Foreo's facial cleansing brushes for years because they get rid of dirt, grime and makeup more effectively and efficiently compared to when I scrub with my hands. My all-time favorite is the Luna 4 Go — it's compact in size, so it doesn't take up much room in my toiletry bag.
Loftie
Loftie raised the price of its lamp by almost $200 due to tariffs, according to a post on its Instagram account. There's currently a few models left at the lower price, but once those are gone, the higher price will become permanent. The Loftie Clock hasn't been affected by price hikes yet, but the brand's website says it may be next. Both devices pair with an app that lets you customize and control them.
Onyx Boox
Boox makes one of our favorite e-readers, and the brand posted a message on Reddit sharing that it raised the cost of its products because tariffs are impacting operational costs. NBC Select editor Jordan Bowan swears by the Onyx Boox Palma 2, which is pocket-sized and lets him annotate pages while reading. It also has a built-in Bluetooth, microphone and speaker.
Frequently asked questions
What tariffs are currently in effect?
There's currently a 10% tariff on imports from all countries. In July, that tariff could increase for dozens of countries, including Vietnam, Switzerland and Indonesia, as well as the European Union, if they don't reach a trade agreement with the U.S.
The U.S. tariff rate on Chinese goods is 30% right now — if China doesn't reach a trade agreement with the U.S. at the end of a 90 day pause that started on May 12, tariffs will increase to over 100%. As it stands, smartphones, computers and tech devices are exempt from the 30% tariff on Chinese imports.
Why are brands raising prices due to tariffs?
Tariffs are taxes on imported goods. If a company brings foreign goods into the U.S., it must pay the U.S. government a percentage of those goods. Tariffs are higher under the current Trump administration, so brands now need to find ways to pay increased duties while continuing to make a profit. Raising prices on their products, or adding an additional fee at checkout, is one way to do so.
How much will tariffs raise prices?
There's no standard amount by which tariffs will raise prices on consumer goods, says Tala Akhavan, the COO of Pietra, an AI-powered sourcing platform that works with e-commerce brands. Companies large and small are approaching price hikes individually and using different strategies to adjust to their new reality. For example, some are splitting the burden of increased duties between customers and themselves, others are fully eating costs and finding new manufacturers, and a select few are putting all tariff fees onto customers, says Akhavan. The strategy a brand takes plays a large part in how much it increases its prices by.
Are tariff-related price hikes permanent?
Long story short: consumers should expect to pay more for goods right now, says Akhavan. 'So far, brands that are raising prices seem to be keeping them that way. There's so much opacity around how the tariff situation is going to play out, and as a bit of insurance, brands are keeping their prices elevated, especially since they're accepting the volatility around tariffs,' she says. 'It's hard to say where tariffs are going to land in the long term, but for the most part, I don't see a world where we go back to exactly where we were.'

Terrifying message sent by ‘Chinese hackers' to M&S boss after crippling cyber attack on British retailer is revealed

The blackmail message is believed to have included a racist term RANSOM DEMAND Terrifying message sent by 'Chinese hackers' to M&S boss after crippling cyber attack on British retailer is revealed Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) 'CHINESE hackers' allegedly sent a terrifying message to the boss of Marks & Spencer following a crippling cyber-attack on the British retailer. Fraudsters, believed to be from the hacking group DragonForce, are said to have emailed the company's chief executive Stuart Machin and seven other key executives. Sign up for Scottish Sun newsletter Sign up 2 High street retailer Marks & Spencer was hit by a cyber attack over the Easter holiday Credit: Alamy 2 M&S boss Stuart Machin, pictured, along with seven other company executives were emailed by the hackers, believed to be DragonForce Credit: PA The message, written in broken English, was sent on April 23, indicated that M&S was hacked by the ransomware group, although the retailer has not acknowledged this. 'We have marched the ways from China all the way to the UK and have mercilessly raped your company and encrypted all the servers,' the hackers wrote, according to the BBC. 'The dragon wants to speak to you so please head over to [our darknet website].' The link to the darknet shared in the email led to a portal for victims of DragonForce to negotiate a ransom fee. The hackers added: 'Let's get the party started. Message us, we will make this fast and easy for us.' DragonForce's attack during the Easter holiday has been hugely damaging for one of Britain's best-known retailer and is thought to have cost the firm an estimated £300million. After six weeks on from the attack, the retailer is still unable to process online orders. The email was sent to Mr Machin along with seven other top executives, according to the corporation. A racist term is also said to have been included in the blackmail message and also ended with an image of a fire-breathing dragon. Along with installing ransomware in order to cripple M&S's IT system the hackers are also believed to have stolen private data from millions of customers. The £3.50 M&S buy that'll make your whole house smell like a 'boujee candle' Three weeks on from the attack, M&S informed customers that contact details and dates of birth from some shoppers had been obtained by a suspected cyber cartel. M&S also admitted other personal details, including customers' order histories, had also been pilfered by online criminals. Bosses though have stressed that no data relating to shoppers' payment, card details or account passwords had been obtained. It is unclear how many customers have been affected by the data breach. According to the company's full-year results, it had 9.4million active online customers in the year up to March 30. The email apparently sent by DragonForce is thought to have bene sent using the account of an employee from IT company Tata Consultancy Services (TCS), which has provided IT services to the retailer for more than a decade. The Indian IT worker, who is based in London, had an M&S email address but is paid employee of TCS.

Brazil's footwear sector boosts investment to enhance productivity

Despite the unstable global landscape, the Brazilian Footwear Association (Abicalçados) recently conducted a survey which revealed that the footwear sector intends to invest 1.7 billion reais (around 303,84 million dollars), a value seven percent higher than last year. Executive president of Abicalçados, Haroldo Ferreira, explained that around 50 percent of the footwear industry's investments in 2025 are expected to be allocated to machinery, equipment, and technology, aimed at improving productivity. 'Brazil suffered a sharp deindustrialisation process in the 1990s, when, in addition to the so-called 'Brazil cost,' there was a relaxation of imports, and we began to notice an invasion of Asian products in the Brazilian market,' said Ferreira. According to Ferreira, the industry, which represented more than 46 percent of the gross domestic product (GDP) in 1989, saw its representation fall to just over 14 percent last year. 'It is no exaggeration to say that the Brazilian footwear industry resisted and continues to resist in a rather hostile environment, taking into account the high production costs and predatory competition imposed by Asian markets, now also through international e-commerce platforms,' added Ferreira, emphasising that investments focused on productivity have been essential for the national footwear industry to remain the main one in the West. Equipment, distribution centres and factory expansion Among the announced investments, some are aimed at purchasing a wide range of machinery and equipment. This is the case of Andacco, which is part of the Cacique Group, from Minas Gerais. The company, which produces 5,000 pairs per day, intends to acquire new equipment and moulds, totalling approximately three million reais. Company director Benvenuto Arantes explained that this amount exceeds what was invested in 2024 by 40 percent. 'Investment is a constant for Andacco, regardless of the scenario, which this year is still quite obscure,' he said. For Arantes, however, opportunities may arise in light of the tariff war between the US and China. 'The US is the destination for 70 percent of our shipments. With the high tariffs imposed on Chinese footwear, we will possibly have greater demand, which could have a positive impact on our exports and, consequently, on performance for 2025,' he explained. Tip Toey, a children's footwear company based in Franca, São Paulo, has been making investments in structural projects totalling three million reais in recent years. The company, which exports a third of its production, will inaugurate a distribution centre in Europe this year, with an investment of approximately 100,000 euros. Co-chief executive officer of Tip Toey, Scott McInerney, explained that the expansion plan involves three main fronts: brand, export, and industry. 'We want to be closer to European customers to respond quickly to demand and receive more consistent feedback on our products,' said McInerney in the press release. The Minas Gerais-based women's footwear and accessories brand Luiza Barcelos constantly invests in machinery and, at the end of 2023, inaugurated a production unit in Rio Grande do Sul, from where 80 percent of its production originates. 'Today, exports represent two percent of turnover, a figure we want to double in 2025. For this, we are intensifying participation in international trade fairs,' said company director Luiz Barcelos. Boaonda, a producer of injected footwear from Rio Grande do Sul, invested more than two million reais in 2024 in expanding its EVA lines and acquiring new machinery. For 2025, given a surprisingly positive first quarter with 30 percent sales growth, Boaonda was obliged to expand its headquarters, in a project that will cost more than five million reais to meet domestic and international market demands. According to brand manager Cássio Romani, the new building should be ready by the end of the year, directly employing more than 50 people. There is the possibility of tripling this number to 150 in the short term, depending on the company's continued growth. For the year, although optimistic, the company forecasts sales growth of around 15 percent. 'Brazil has structural problems such as high taxes, unfair competition—including within our own market—and difficulty in finding labour. Despite this, Boaonda remains confident and is betting on our country,' said Romani. Overview of the footwear industry with high technology employed Credits: courtesy of the Brazilian Footwear Association In summary The Brazilian footwear sector plans to invest 1.7 billion reais, a seven percent increase compared to the previous year, focusing on machinery and technology to improve productivity. Companies such as Andacco, Tip Toey, and Luiza Barcelos are investing in equipment, distribution centres, and expanding their facilities to increase production and meet domestic and international demand. Despite challenges such as high production costs, Asian competition, and structural problems in Brazil, footwear companies are optimistic and confident in their growth, seeking opportunities in the global market.

Rare coin sells for over 300 times its value on eBay – exact detail you need to look for on your spare change

Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) BRITS have been urged to rifle in their pockets and check down the backs of sofas, after a rare coin sold for 300 times its value. Cash is being used less and less in Britain, with some companies even now refusing to take cash payments. Sign up for Scottish Sun newsletter Sign up 3 Could you have a rare coin amongst your spare change? Credit: Getty 3 The Kew Gardens 50p is the second rarest coin in active circulation 3 A Kew Gardens 50p recently sold for £157 Credit: eBay But although many prefer the convenience of contactless cards and see loose change as an annoyance, it can actually be extremely valuable. The rarest coin currently in active circulation is His Majesty King Charles III's 50p coin, depicting the Atlantic Salmon, with just 200,0000 of the coins back in 2023. Following close behind, the Kew Gardens 50p, released in 2009, is the second rarest coin, with 210,000 in active circulation. The highly sought-after collectable, which features the Kew Gardens pagoda, recently caused a storm on eBay, with a 25 bid showdown resulting in one of the rare coins being sold for £157, which is over 300 times its value. It is worth checking your piggy bank and sorting through any spare change for the coin, as it could end up earning you enough for a posh meal or a flight abroad. However, the Royal Mint warned that the coin may be tricky to find in your purse, as they are often snapped up by collectors. 'Nothing gets people excited quite like this original 2009 design", it said. "Just 210,000 were released into circulation and with almost all of them in private hands, the chances of coming across one in your change are slim.' It added: "The venerable institution depicted on the Kew Gardens 50p coin is the nation's most famous royal botanical garden. 'The reverse design, created by Christopher Le Brun RA, features the famous Chinese Pagoda at Kew with a decorative leafy climber twining in and around the tower. Best beer announced and sport's giant accused of RRP meddling 'Demand for the 50p denomination was not high at the time of release into circulation which explains the low mintage of this particular design.' The Atlantic Salmon 50p is also a highly sought-after collector's item, and often sells for huge sums on eBay. Last week, an Atlantic Salmon coin sold on eBay for a whopping £69, after a fierce 16 bid showdown. On October 7 one coin sold for £164 with six bidders fighting for the prize. Most rare and valuable 50p coins WE reveal the Royal Mint's most rare and valuable 50p coins in circulation. Triathlon Minted in 2011, the Triathlon 50p depicts the same sport which featured in the 2012 Olympics. There are more than 1,160,000 of the coins in circulation. With over 200million 50ps circulating in the UK, that makes this coin quite a rare find. The highest recent sale we've found on eBay recently was £30 on June 21. Judo Judo is a popular sport that involves grappling with your opponent. But despite the design, it's not so easy to get a hold of this coin, of which there are just 1,161,500 in circulation. The piece was designed by David Cornell after he won a national competition. It was minted in 2011 and the highest bid we've seen on eBay was for £17.95 on June 21. Wrestling Wrestling was one of the first Olympic sports so it's not surprising that it features on one of the 50p pieces. The 2011 coin was designed by Roderick Enriquez, a graphic designer from Hammersmith, London. We've seen it sell for as much as £15 online so is worth digging around for. In recent months, one was sold on eBay for £11.95 on June 18. Football Of all the coins created to commemorate the 2012 Olympic Games, the 50p Football is among the rarest. It features an explanation of the controversial offside rule on it, with 1,125,000 produced. One sold for £20 on eBay on June 11, although it has been known to go for as much as £75 in the past. Kew Gardens The Kew Gardens 50p is the rarest of all the 50p pieces, with only 210,000 in circulation. They have been known to sell for as much as £895 on eBay before. The design was created by Christopher Le Brun RA and features the famous Chinese Pagoda with a leafy chamber that twists around the tower. The coin often sparks the interest of new coin collectors due to its rarity. The highest sale we found in recent weeks was £142 on June 22 with 23 bids. Another sold for £147 on December 16 with a whopping 37 bids. If you're ever unsure of how much a coin should be sold for, it helps to look at what prices other people are listing. You can also run it through Change Checker's Scarcity Index to get a sense of its value. How to Sell A Rare Coin If you're lucky enough to find a rare coin amongst your spare change, you can sell them through online marketplaces such as eBay. You can also sell coins via auction, through the Royal Mint Collector's Service. If you choose to do it this way, a team of experts will authenticate and value your coin, and advise you on how to sell.
