Temporary Reduction in Tariffs Paves Way for Switch 2 Preorders in North America – News

We can only hope that any future changes work out in our favor.

The ongoing tariff issues have thrown a wrench into the eagerly awaited preorders for the Switch 2 in the U.S. and Canada, but there’s a glimmer of hope as some temporary relief was announced today.

An official update on social media brought some good news for gamers. The steep tariffs—previously set at 46% for imports from Vietnam (where Nintendo moved its production in the late 2010s) and about 25% for Japanese imports of game cards—will drop to 10% for the next three months. However, this reduction only covers the period surrounding the Switch 2’s launch. If no new agreements are reached, imports after this initial phase might face the original higher tariffs.

The announcement also covered some tougher news. China, which once handled hardware manufacturing for Nintendo, will now see a massive 125% import tariff. This change comes as a response to China’s own 104% tariff on American imports. Mexico, which escaped the last round of tariff increases and supplies game card cases for North America, may soon face a 10% tariff as well.

As fans await the arrival of the Switch 2, these tariff developments will certainly be worth watching in the coming months.
