We’re currently facing challenges with how tariffs are tracked. Given their volatility, tariffs need their own dedicated column, similar to how we handle furniture markups just not taxable. Blending them together is not ideal, as it reduces clarity and makes it harder to account for frequent changes in tariff rates. At the moment, the system only supports Text, Check Box, Single Select, Date, Duration, or Link column types for custom fields. It would be helpful to have a Percentage (%) column type as well, especially for accurately reflecting tariff calculations and other variable costs. ---

We’ve been adding a line-item to bottom of estimate called Tariff Increase Fee and selecting non-taxable so sales tax is not calculated on that item. It’s a flat fee instead of a %. We also add a note in our Terms and Conditions that says **Price subject to change based on potential tariff increases or decreases.**
