Zebra Announces Price Increases for 2019
On January 1, U.S. Tariffs will be rising to twenty-five percent (25%) on certain goods imported from China. Zebra Technologies looks to counteract their increased costs with new prices effective on January 7, 2019.
Regarding which products will see what increases, Zebra stated:
…Zebra will increase list prices by twelve percent (12%) on most accessories when sold separately, including power supplies, cradles, cables, stands and chargers, and on certain specialized scanning products including companion scanners, micro kiosks, RFID sleds and the DS4800 Series. List prices for DS9908 scanners will increase by six percent (6%) and for EVM Service contracts by five percent (5%).
In addition, Zebra will be raising the prices on all other hardware products by one percent (1%) to reflect the higher costs of bundles containing many of the accessories that would incur the tariffs.
Barcode supplies, card supplies, and software are excluded from list price increases and Zebra reserves the right to limit order quantities.
