We did the math. We moved some beans around. 

No more tariffs on our pedals for US customers!

Effective immediately, orders from empresseffects.com entering the United States will not be subject to import tariffs! The price you see at checkout is the price you pay.

How is this possible?

Technically, "no more tariffs" isn't the truth. Actually, we’ve lowered our profit on orders to the US and included the cost of tariffs in the purchase price of each pedal, so there won't be any unexpected fees for American customers upon delivery. 

Some products have increased in price because of this (for example, the Heavy Menace is now $269, up from $249), but we did our best to keep increases to a minimum and many prices haven't changed.

Scratch & Dents still a bargain!

Buying from our Scratch & Dent inventory is a great way to get a new pedal for less!

They work perfectly and are tested to the same standards as our regular pedals, but are discounted due to a small cosmetic flaw.

And, of course, no extra tariffs on S&D pedals either :)
