ALERT - NFA IS ENGAGING WASHINGTON, D.C. DIRECTLY REGARDING TARIFFS.

Tariff Updates

The fireworks industry is facing a significant challenge due to the tariffs currently imposed on our products. These tariffs threaten our businesses, our livelihoods, and the long-standing traditions we work hard to uphold. To ensure the future of our industry, we must take action now.

The National Fireworks Association (NFA), alongside the American Pyrotechnics Association (APA), has taken steps to advocate for our industry, including sending an official letter to President Trump requesting an exemption from these burdensome tariffs. Now, we need your help to amplify our message.

We are launching a grassroots effort urging all members and partners to reach out to their local, state, and federal representatives. Personal outreach is one of the most powerful tools we have to make our voices heard. Here’s how you can help:

  1. Contact Your Representatives – Call, email, or write to your U.S. Senators and House Representatives. Explain how these tariffs are negatively impacting your business, employees, and community. You can find your representatives using the Senate and House websites: https://www.senate.gov/ and https://www.house.gov/.
  2. Share the Letter – Below is the letter sent to President Trump from the NFA and APA. Use this as a reference or include it in your communications.
  3. Encourage Others to Act – Share this effort with employees, colleagues, and customers who rely on the fireworks industry. The more voices we have, the stronger our impact.
  4. Engage on Social Media – Tag your elected officials on social media and share your concerns using relevant hashtags to bring more attention to this issue.
  5. Send a Letter with VoterVoice -  We’ve provided a template letter that you may customize if you wish to add information about your company, a special fireworks show in your region, or a nonprofit group that may be affected by the tariffs. You can find this template at www.americanpyro.com/advocacy or with the buttons below. 

We must act swiftly and decisively. The livelihoods of thousands of Americans and the future of the fireworks industry depend on it. Together, we can make a difference.
