Tariff Impact & Pricing Update
An Update for Our Customers and Dealer Partners
Like many U.S. hobby companies, Broadway Limited has been navigating significant changes in import tariffs over the past year. We want to be transparent about how these changes affect our pricing and what we're doing about it.
The Current Situation
The U.S. government has imposed tariffs on model trains imported from China and Vietnam — two countries where BLI manufactures its products. These tariffs represent a real cost increase that no company in our industry can fully absorb. Where necessary, we have adjusted dealer and retail pricing to reflect a portion of these increased costs, while working to minimize the impact on our customers as much as possible.
What We're Doing
Broadway Limited has been manufacturing in Vietnam for several years, and roughly half of our product line is now produced there. We continue to evaluate our sourcing strategy — including exploring U.S.-based toolmakers for future products — with the long-term goal of building a more resilient supply chain.
We are also active members of the Hobby Industry Coalition, a group of hobby companies working together to advocate for fair tariff treatment of hobby products. You can learn more at www.hobbycoalition.org.
Our Commitment to You
We remain committed to delivering the high-quality, finely detailed locomotives and rolling stock you expect from Broadway Limited. We don't take price increases lightly, and every adjustment reflects costs we've already worked hard to reduce on our end.
Thank you for your continued support of BLI and the hobby.
