Retro Handheld Maker Anbernic Halts U.S. Shipments Over Tariff Policy Changes

The company is directing customers to limited U.S. warehouse stock and third-party platforms while awaiting clarity on import duties.

Overview

  • Anbernic has suspended all shipments from China to the U.S. due to President Trump's tariff increases and the removal of the de minimis exemption for sub-$800 imports.
  • Customers are advised to purchase from Anbernic's U.S. warehouse, where limited stock remains unaffected by the new import duties.
  • Other retro handheld makers, including Retroid, are also pausing U.S. shipments, citing tariff-related uncertainties and escalating costs.
  • The tariff changes have led to price hikes for gaming hardware and accessories, with broader impacts on major brands like Nintendo and Sony.
  • Anbernic plans to update its shipping policies and resume shipments once there is clearer guidance on tariff regulations.
