Navigating the 2025 Ammo Price Shakeup
New tariff rules rolled out in 2025 are shaking up the ammunition industry. With countries facing different import cost adjustments, prices are fluctuating rapidly — but that also means opportunity for savvy buyers. At True Shot Ammo, Arizona’s largest ammo distributor with reach across 48 states, the focus is clear: help Americans stay stocked without getting gouged.
How Tariffs Are Changing Ammo Prices by Country
The latest tariff structure breaks global ammo sourcing into tiers:
High-Impact Countries (20–37% Tariffs)
-
Serbia: PPU, Belom
-
Bosnia & Herzegovina: Maxxtech, Igman
-
North Macedonia: ATS, Old Army
-
Italy, Germany, Czech Republic: Select European producers
Moderate-Impact Countries (10–17% Tariffs)
-
Philippines: Armscor
-
Brazil: Magtech
-
Turkey: Turan, Sterling
Low-Impact: USMCA Compliant
-
Mexico: Aguila – Benefits from favorable North American trade agreements
The Tariff Pause: A 90-Day Buying Window
Currently, a temporary tariff pause is in place — and it’s a game-changer:
-
Universal 10% Tariff: Applies to nearly all countries (excluding China) through July 8th
-
China Ammo: Still locked under a crippling 125% import duty
-
Aguila from Mexico: Virtually unaffected due to NAFTA/USMCA protections
This 90-day pause means lower import costs, more supply, and better pricing — but it won’t last.
