Valley Cooperative Association

Update – April 4, 2025

As of Wednesday, April 2, 2025, President Trump declared a national emergency and implemented various new tariffs at different levels on goods imported from numerous countries.  The impact of these new tariffs on product availability and pricing is unknown while our supply chain partners review their inventory levels and how their upstream supply chains are impacted. 

Valley is actively monitoring the situation to ensure there is no disruption to your business.  Suppliers affected by tariffs on raw materials may need to adjust their pricing.  As that happens, we will immediately notify you of any product price changes. 

What You Need to Know: 

  • Valley is closely monitoring the impact of these tariffs on the supply chain. 
  • If price increases occur due to tariffs, we are committed to ensuring they are removed if and when the tariffs are lifted. 
  • At this time, the duration of the tariffs is uncertain. 

We understand that changes like these create challenges, and we remain committed to staying ahead of developments and acting in the best interest of our customers and members. If you have any concerns about product availability or pricing, please reach out to your Account Manager for assistance.
