To help retailers mitigate the uncertainty of potential tariffs on Canadian produced goods, Bellini Modern Living has created a protection program that will guarantee pricing on orders placed any time before tariffs are implemented and then promised to “share the burden and minimize any impact as much as possible” when and if they are assessed.
In a letter sent to customers, Bellini Modern Living President Hossein Azimi wrote that “all orders placed before any tariffs take effect will be honored at their original price, regardless of shipment date.” He also reminded customers that the brand’s made in Italy products, the lion’s share of its line, will not be affected by the proposed Canadian tariffs, as the assessments “apply only to the country of origin.”
“The message out of Washington on proposed tariffs is confusing and we wanted to give our dealers some certainty with this new program. We will have your back, share the burden and other than our domestic custom upholstery sofa program, the vast majority of our products come from Italy, which is not affected by the current tariff talk,” Azimi said. “We remain optimistic that this trade-related matter will be short-lived, and that our cross-border collaborations will continue as usual.”
