Supermarket chain tells suppliers it 'won't accept cost increases' over tariffs
现在的CEO正好5/1号退休，
- 供应商要提前3个月可以提出涨价的要求，
- 然后再花一个月时间批准。
Albertsons acknowledged that hiked-up foreign taxes may put pressure on many businesses, but suppliers are not to include tariff-related fees in their invoices without the chain's approval.
'Therefore, with few exceptions, we are not accepting cost increases due to tariffs,' the message reads.
The company explained that if a supplier absolutely must increase their costs, they have to provide at least 90 days notice before billing Albertsons any differently.
Suppliers must also provide valid proof that tariffs really are increasing the price of their products.
Albertsons will then look over the request, which could take another month before it gets okayed or denied.
