The recent announcement of new US tariffs has caused understandable concern among buyers looking to import goods from overseas. While details are still unfolding, it appears that a 10% tariff will be imposed on most imported products, with the exception of cars, which will face a 25% tariff. At ScanX, we want to reassure our customers that purchasing from us remains the best value for money, despite these changes.

The UK is Not the EU – And That Matters

ScanX is a UK-based company. One major point of confusion is the assumption that the United Kingdom (UK) is part of the European Union (EU). This is not the case. While the EU is facing 25% tariffs on many of its exports, the UK, as a close economic and military ally of the US, has been granted different trading terms. This means that our products will not be impacted in the same way as those coming from EU-based companies.

ScanX Still Offers the Best Value for Money

Even with the introduction of tariffs, ScanX continues to offer the best value for high-quality portable ultrasound machines. Here’s why:

• Competitive Pricing: Compared to ultrasound machines sold on Amazon that originate from China, which will now be hit with higher tariffs, our scanners remain more affordable and deliver superior quality.
• Higher Quality Products: Many low-cost ultrasound machines available online come from regions affected by these tariffs, meaning you pay more while receiving less in terms of quality and features.
• Tariff Impact on US-Based Companies: While some US ultrasound brands may appear to be a domestic option, the reality is that many of their components are sourced from China, meaning they too will face increased costs due to these tariffs.

What to Expect with Shipping

We understand that customers may have concerns about how these tariffs will affect shipping times. While we anticipate a slight delay, we want to be fully transparent with our buyers.

• Current Shipping Times: Our standard delivery to the US has always been under five working days.
• Potential Delays: Based on our experience with other countries that impose tariffs, we estimate an additional 48-hour delay in processing shipments.
• Still Faster Than Domestic Options: Even with this minor delay, our shipping times remain among the fastest in the industry—often quicker than domestic shipping within the US itself.

We Are Covering 100% of the Tariff – No Extra Cost to You

To further ease concerns, ScanX has made the decision to cover 100% of the tariff costs for our customers. That means you won’t see any unexpected charges when purchasing from us.

We understand that import duties can be stressful and confusing, so we are taking this burden off your shoulders. While we will monitor the situation and make adjustments as needed, we are confident that this approach will allow you to continue enjoying the best value without any additional costs.
