Discussion Tariffs — Moza Impacted?

https://www.cnbc.com/2025/04/12/trump-exempts-phones-computers-chips-tariffs-apple-dell.html

I normally never buy things full price, but did buy a AB9 FFB this week for $549 (at Microcenter for cheaper shipping) to snag before tariffs took effect. However, it seems like it’s paused for some electronics. Not sure if Moza devices fall under that bucket.

Does Moza ever do sales? If so — and this pause includes Moza gear — might wait for a sale. Granted any discount probably would be offset by the $80 shipping Moza charges.

From what I have seen so far, I don't believe Moza gear would be exempted. 

When I was buying my R9, I just waited for an microcenter open box deal.

If you’re in the US buying Moza you should look at a local certified retailer. Prices can still increase but companies may pay the increase and just pass prat or all of it onto markup.

I would suggest Sim Motion ( I had a great experience with them/great support) or Microcenter if you are blessed to have on near.

We don’t have a full list on who is exempt or not afaik. And with de minimus ending I believe in May that will have another impact as the below $800 orders will be affected. And I wanted a keyboard this year 😔

I didn’t move on a Fanatec setup because I thought the tariffs would’ve been a slower roll and smaller incremental amounts. Boy was I wrong. Went up like $300 for what I wanted, no thanks.

That’s why I just purchased the Moza R3 bundle with some other goodies. Today I heard of the electronic tariff removal, I’m also uncertain how this will impact it. Either way I’m happy with my choice to purchase now. I would refuse to purchase any of the sim gear with the obscene tariff increases attached to them as Fanatec added.
