Dear Valued Customers,

We are only too aware of the concerns all of our clients have relating to the impact of such large tariffs and how we might handle this. These are uncharted waters for us all and we want you all to know we are empathizing with the uncertainties and concerns you all may have.

Lucas McKearn, like many other companies in the lighting industry, is closely monitoring the current economic environment and the uncertainty of the global tariff regimen.

We are hopeful that in the near future, clearly understood tariff levels will be agreed upon that ensure the free flow of commerce around the world.  The current disruptions impact our customers and disrupt standard operations and decision making.  Lucas McKearn is committed to addressing those impacts in the following ways:

1. All of in-stock items that we have received prior to the tariff escalation will see no price increase at the current time. 
2. Goods currently on the water that are incurring the present high tariffs will have their price adjusted accordingly on a model-by-model basis and we will notify all clients and reps as soon as we have the figures to share. There is still a degree of confusion about exactly what tariff rates will be on landing, so to be safe, we will do this once we have the formal computations after submission by our clearing agents.
3. As any in-stock items sell through to a zero-stock position, we will make those models temporarily unavailable until we can confirm our landed cost and then can provide updated pricing and estimated arrival for replacement stock. Our sales office will be happy to assist in advising alternative in-stock model options in such cases.
4. Where possible, we are shifting more of our production and product development to our UK-based factory, the headquarters of our parent group company, Elstead Lighting Group, based in Hampshire, England.
5. We encourage you to register at www.lucasmckearn.com so that you have access to the most up to date pricing and stock status for all items.

We wish to pass our thanks to all of your business and understanding during these uncertain times. More than ever before, working closely together and supporting each other will be essential while navigating through this period.

Sending you our best regards from Baton Rouge and we hope to see as many of you as possible at the coming markets in Dallas in June and Atlanta in July.
