OMI Tariff Response + Policy

At OMI Parts Inc., we recognize the ongoing challenges that current U.S. tariff policies present to supply chain stability across our industry. As a company that proudly serves supply houses and wholesalers across the United States, we want to acknowledge how difficult it can be to adapt to rapid and unpredictable changes in trade regulations. We deeply value the trust you've placed in us, and we are committed to transparency and partnership as we navigate this together.

OMI Parts Inc. manufactures parts in India and imports them to our U.S.-based warehouse, where we stock product to ensure reliable fulfillment.

Tariff Policy Update

September 2025

Following the U.S. government’s decision to impose a 50% tariff on imports from India, we want to provide a clear and timely update on how OMI Parts Inc. is responding to this development.

We recognize that this dramatic escalation in trade policy introduces significant uncertainty for many of our clients—especially those in distribution and wholesale roles that rely on stable, predictable pricing. Our commitment to you remains unchanged: we will take every reasonable step to minimize cost impact before passing any increases along.

Open Blanket Orders

  • Confirmed purchase orders that have already been received and acknowledged by OMI Parts, with scheduled delivery dates through Ocober 2025, will be honored at their current agreed-upon pricing, regardless of any increased import costs we may incur.

  • Open blanket orders that have already been received and acknowledged by OMI Parts, with scheduled delivery dates through October 2025, will be prioritized for fulfillment based on order history and stock availability.

Our Current Position

While we have maintained pricing consistency for the majority of our customers, a limited number of clients have received marginal price adjustments, reflecting subsidized cost increases on select tariff-impacted products. These changes have been made thoughtfully, on a case-by-case basis, and only where necessary to preserve service continuity and product availability.

We are continuing to:

  • Absorb as much of the tariff impact as possible

  • Hold steady pricing across the bulk of our catalog

  • Work closely with our manufacturing, freight, and fulfillment partners to reduce pressure across the supply chain

We are monitoring the situation daily and remain committed to clear, proactive communication as conditions evolve.

Looking Ahead

We will remain vigilant as this situation evolves. Our focus is on continuity, fairness, and transparency—and we are committed to communicating any necessary changes well in advance.

We appreciate your continued trust and partnership as we work through this together. Should you have any questions or need to discuss your specific order history or forecast planning, please don’t hesitate to contact us.

Sincerely,
Pavan Bahl
