Overview

  • Anbernic has officially suspended all direct shipments from China to the United States, effective immediately, citing changes in U.S. tariff policies.
  • The company is directing U.S. customers to purchase from its limited domestic warehouse inventory, which is not subject to the new import duties.
  • Retroid will follow suit, halting U.S.-bound shipments from China beginning April 25, further tightening supply in the retro handheld market.
  • President Trump’s trade policies include new per-shipment fees of $75 starting in May and $150 in June, on top of tariffs exceeding 145% on some imports.
  • Retro gaming enthusiasts are bracing for higher prices and reduced availability of popular devices like Anbernic’s RG34XX and RG406H models.
