To our partners,
The recent tariff news has created an uncertain environment in North America. Although Gemini sources over 90% of our raw materials domestically, we have already seen price increases on those materials in the range of 15-20%.
In response, Gemini will be implementing a 10% surcharge on the metal products listed below effective April 15, 2025:
- Fabricated Metal
- Flat Cut Metal
- Cast Metal
- All Plaques
- Thin Gauge Metal Signs
At this time, there is no surcharge on Flat Cut Acrylic, Flat Cut PVC, Laminate, Gemleaf, Formed Plastic, Lit Formed Plastic, and Lit Acrylic.
We understand that price fluctuations can be concerning. The surcharge of 10% will only cover a portion of the increased costs we will incur from tariffs and price increases on raw metals in the range of 15-20% from domestic suppliers. Like most in the signage industry, we are actively monitoring to be as proactive as possible in providing price transparency to you.
Gemini is committed to supporting you through this period of uncertainty. We value your partnership and will do everything we can to ensure you have the latest information with the service you expect. Please contact us with any questions or look for the latest updates in Gemini’s Partner Portal. We will be in touch with any changes.
Thank you for your continued partnership.

To our partners,
Earlier this week, we provided notice of implementation of a surcharge on metal products made in our North American production facilities. The surcharge of 10% will only cover a portion of the increased costs we will incur from tariffs and price increases on raw metals in the range of 15-20% from US domestic suppliers. Like most in the signage industry, we are actively monitoring to be as proactive as possible in providing price transparency to you.

- Gemini has delayed the surcharge on Fabricated Metal and Polished Flat Cut Metal that went into effect this week, based on recent tariff news. Any surcharges applied to Quotes or Orders this week have now been removed.

*Applicable for US-based customers only. Canadian-based customers will receive a separate communication and impact statement.
The United States government has reviewed and upheld the decision to impose import tariffs up to 25% impacting the transfer of goods between Mexico, Canada, and China. These tariffs went into effect Tuesday, March 4, 2025. The tariffs have increased the cost for raw materials used in the signage industry, most notably aluminum, stainless steel and bronze.
The environment we are in is uncertain and we are actively monitoring the situation. Gemini is committed to providing as much notice and transparency as possible as this situation evolves.
In response to these tariffs, Gemini is implementing a 10% tariff surcharge on metal products in two phases. All orders placed for the products listed below on or after the specified dates will have the 10% tariff surcharge applied, regardless of when the project was quoted. Orders placed prior to the effective date will have no tariff surcharge applied. This surcharge will only cover a portion of the increase in costs incurred from the tariffs.
Phase 1: Effective March 6, 2025
- Fabricated Metal
- Polished Flat Cut Metal
Phase 2: Effective April 15, 2025
- Flat Cut Metal
- Cast Metal
- Metal Plaques
- Thin Gauge Metal Signs
At this time, there will be no tariff surcharge applied to Flat Cut Acrylic, Flat Cut PVC, Laminate, Gemleaf, Formed Plastic, Lit Formed Plastic and Lit Acrylic.
We are committed to providing price transparency for our partners. Gemini will continue to diligently work with our suppliers to reduce the overall impact on you.

To Our Partners,
Negotiations are still ongoing with respect to import tariffs between the United States and its trading partners. New developments from the United States government this morning indicates that there will be a delay on import tariffs from Mexico for 30 days.
Aligned with this recent update, the 10% tariff surcharge will now take effect March 1, 2025, on fabricated stainless steel, fabricated aluminum, lit fabricated products and some polished metals. All orders for these products received and approved for production prior to March 1, 2025, will have no tariff surcharge applied.
This surcharge represents only a portion of our expected costs from these proposed tariffs and will only apply should they become effective. Gemini is committed to providing stability in pricing by maintaining over 90% of our product offering as manufactured in the United States and Canada.

To Our Partners,
As you may be aware, the United States is currently reviewing decisions to impose import tariffs up to 25% impacting the transfer of goods between the United States, Mexico and Canada.
We are carefully monitoring this situation and in an effort to be fully transparent to you, our partners, we are sharing this update from Gemini. If the proposed tariffs by the United States government go into effect, Gemini will be forced to apply a 10% tariff surcharge to fabricated stainless steel, fabricated aluminum, fabricated illuminated and some polished metals.
Further details on quoting, ordering and product specifics will be shared in the event that this import tariff is imposed. This 10% tariff surcharge will only be enacted if the proposed tariffs take effect. There is no immediate action required on your part.
We recognize this is a very fluid situation which we will continue to monitor over the coming days. We value your continued partnership, and we are committed to proactive communication regarding this situation.
