by Christopher Guy will apply a surcharge to all new orders starting July 1; Jonathan Charles to implement price increase effective July 16
HIGH POINT More tariff related price increases are on the way, according to correspondence Home News Now has received from industry resources.
Luxury furniture producers Christopher Guy and Jonathan Charles announced the increases via recent individual letters sent to dealers.
Christopher Guy, which manufacturers its line at its production facilities in Indonesia, said in its letter that it plans to implement a 10% tariff surcharge to all new orders starting July 1.
The company noted that it has been closely monitoring developments in global trade policy and that the adjustment is necessary to “continue offering the highest level of craftsmanship without compromising our standards.”
“Should trade policies shift or new guidelines emerge, we will adjust the tariff accordingly and communicate any changes in a timely manner,” the company said.
Jonathan Charles, which manufactures in Vietnam, said in its letter to customers that while many in the industry implemented changes as early as April, it waited more than 60 days, “hoping for increased clarity and stability in the market. During that time, our team has worked diligently to improve operational efficiencies and identify cost-saving measures to minimize the impact on our retail partners.”
Despite these efforts, it said, the company found it necessary to implement a 5% increase effective July 16.
“This step is essential to maintain the quality, reliability and service standards that you have come to expect from us,” said Garth Robinson, vice president, sales, noting that all April 2025 introductions are excluded from the increase.
“We understand the challenges this may present, and please know that this decision was not made lightly,” he added. “Our goal remains to support your ongoing success by continuing to deliver premium products and exceptional service.”
