8BitDo has announced a suspension of shipments from its Chinese warehouse to U.S. customers due to a 145% tariff imposed by the Trump administration on Chinese imports, alongside the end of de minimis exemptions for shipments under $800. Many companies in the video game and tabletop industry, including Anbernic, are facing similar shipment restrictions, causing industry-wide panic. While some products from 8BitDo's U.S. warehouse remain available for order, several popular items, including the Ultimate 2 Bluetooth Controller, are not accessible due to these regulations, with ongoing uncertainty about future availability.
The U.S. government's higher tariffs on Chinese imports are drastically affecting video game companies, leading to 8BitDo halting shipments to the U.S.
With key products facing shipment restrictions due to new tariffs, 8BitDo's U.S. customers must rely on limited stock at their local warehouse.
The video game industry panics as tariffs classify consoles as toys, impacting shipments and pricing for gamers and tabletop enthusiasts alike.
Despite shipment halts, some older inventory remains available, but many sought-after 8BitDo products are stuck in China.
