<p>This spring, shooters from across the country made the trip to <strong>Muncie, Indiana</strong> for <strong>ELEVATE 2026</strong>, the newly re‑branded event formerly known as COBRA-CON. Like past years, the weekend was full of conversation, collaboration, and some truly impressive fireworks displays from talented designers who care deeply about their craft.</p>



<p>We were grateful for the opportunity to take part once again with our <strong>pyromusical demo show on Saturday night</strong>!</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">A Show Built with Consumer Fireworks</h2>



<p>Our approach for the demo stayed consistent with what we’ve always tried to show at events like this:<strong> what’s possible using only 1.4G Consumer Fireworks.</strong></p>



<p>At ELEVATE, many of the displays throughout the weekend featured professional-grade product. Those shows were inspiring in their own right, and we are always amazed by the experience and creativity that goes into designing them. And who doesn&#8217;t love fireballs?</p>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-full"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="732" height="366" src="https://www.superiorfireworks.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2026/04/elevate-fireball.jpg" alt="ELEVATE 2026 Fireball" class="wp-image-3567" srcset="https://www.superiorfireworks.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2026/04/elevate-fireball.jpg 732w, https://www.superiorfireworks.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2026/04/elevate-fireball-300x150.jpg 300w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 732px) 100vw, 732px" /></figure>



<p>For our demo, though, we intentionally kept everything within the consumer category. The goal wasn’t to compete, but to demonstrate how thoughtful timing, music, and pacing can bring consumer products together into a cohesive, meaningful show. We were also able to showcase how our consumer products can be used to create powerful, professional-grade moments!</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Featuring Our In‑House Brands</h2>



<p>The demo included a mix of products from all three of our in‑house brands:</p>



<ul class="wp-block-list">
<li><strong><a href="https://www.superiorfireworks.com/wholesale/category/sfx-fireworks">SFX Fireworks</a></strong></li>



<li><strong><a href="https://www.superiorfireworks.com/wholesale/category/sfx-show-line">SFX Show Line</a></strong></li>



<li><strong><a href="https://www.superiorfireworks.com/wholesale/category/the-great-american-fireworks-co">The Great American Fireworks Co.</a></strong></li>
</ul>



<p>We designed the display as a hybrid demo and pyromusical. Some segments slowed down enough to intentionally feature individual items, giving viewers a clear sense of timing, color, and effect. Other moments pulled things together by layering products, mixing pacing, and building energy to show how different items can complement one another when used as part of a larger sequence. The aim was to balance clarity with creativity, and to offer ideas shooters could pull from whether they’re evaluating a specific product or thinking through how to shape an entire show.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">A Moment That Brought It Home</h2>



<p>As you&#8217;d expect, one of the most memorable parts of the show came at the end, with a red, white, and blue finale that tied together music, color, and rhythm. As we head into a historic Fourth of July, marking <strong><a href="https://www.superiorfireworks.com/blog/2026/01/welcome-to-2026-25-years-superior-250-years-united/" type="post" id="3528">250 years of American independence alongside 25 years of Superior Fireworks</a></strong>, that closing moment carried extra meaning.</p>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="1024" height="512" src="https://www.superiorfireworks.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2026/04/elevate-finale-1-1024x512.jpg" alt="ELEVATE 2026 Patriotic Finale" class="wp-image-3570" srcset="https://www.superiorfireworks.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2026/04/elevate-finale-1-1024x512.jpg 1024w, https://www.superiorfireworks.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2026/04/elevate-finale-1-300x150.jpg 300w, https://www.superiorfireworks.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2026/04/elevate-finale-1-768x384.jpg 768w, https://www.superiorfireworks.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2026/04/elevate-finale-1-1536x768.jpg 1536w, https://www.superiorfireworks.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2026/04/elevate-finale-1-2048x1024.jpg 2048w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px" /></figure>



<p>For us, it was a fitting way to acknowledge both the milestone ahead and the shared tradition that connects shooters, families, and communities year after year.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Grateful to Be Part of the Event</h2>



<p>ELEVATE is a reminder of how much knowledge and creativity exists within the fireworks community. Being surrounded by experienced show designers is something we don’t take lightly.</p>



<p>We’re thankful to the COBRA team for continuing to create a space where shooters can learn from one another, and for allowing us to contribute our small part to the weekend.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Watch the ELEVATE 2026 Demo Show</h2>



<p>For those who weren’t able to attend ELEVATE in person, we&#8217;re sharing the <strong>full video of our Saturday night pyromusical demo show</strong>, along with a <strong>rundown of the products used throughout the display</strong>.</p>

<p>We&#8217;re heading into the best time of the year to buy wholesale fireworks: our <strong>2026 Early Ship Sale</strong>. This year, the sale runs <strong>Friday, January 30 through Monday, March 2</strong>.</p>



<p>Our long-time customers will notice that this is a slightly different schedule than prior years, because we generally run this sale just for the month of February. However, since the month both begins and ends on a weekend, we decided to extend it a couple of days so our team can be here and ready to help as needed on those busy first and last days.</p>



<p>But what hasn&#8217;t changed? <strong>Savings, selection, and early shipping!</strong></p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Save an Extra 10% Sitewide*</h2>



<p>The big headline here is the <strong>extra 10% discount</strong> that stacks <em>on top of</em> existing volume discounts. This can quickly add up to 25% off*, giving you the best wholesale pricing of the year:</p>



<figure class="wp-block-table is-style-regular"><table><thead><tr><th>Order Subtotal</th><th>Total Discount</th></tr></thead><tbody><tr><td>$1,000-$1,999</td><td><strong>10% Early Ship Discount</strong></td></tr><tr><td>$2,000-$3,999</td><td>10% Early Ship + 10% Volume = <strong>20% Total Discount</strong></td></tr><tr><td>$4,000+</td><td>10% Early Ship + 15% Volume = <strong>25% Total Discount</strong></td></tr></tbody></table></figure>



<p><em>* Excludes IGNITE products and promotional items. Also, the Early Ship Sale discount applies differently for customers on discounted pricing tiers. Contact your sales representative for details.</em></p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Get the Best Selection</h2>



<p>You also get first pick from the best selection, with:</p>



<ul class="wp-block-list">
<li><strong>Pre-order available</strong> for all inbound items</li>



<li>A huge inventory of <strong>in-stock items</strong> ready to ship right away</li>
</ul>



<p>Items offered for pre-order will clearly show an expected arrival date for each product based on our current production and shipping schedules, with all pre-orders expected to be fulfilled <strong>no later than the end of April</strong>. As always, though, if an unforeseen delay keeps us from shipping your order by then, it won&#8217;t impact your 10% Early Ship Sale discount.</p>



<p>Right now, any items marked as “<strong>Coming in January</strong>” on our website will be available for pre-order starting <strong>January 30</strong>. If you want, you can press the heart button to save items to a wish list, then add them to your cart once they&#8217;re available.</p>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-full"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="1024" height="576" src="https://www.superiorfireworks.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2026/01/ESS26-ComingSoon-4.jpg" alt="" class="wp-image-3550" srcset="https://www.superiorfireworks.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2026/01/ESS26-ComingSoon-4.jpg 1024w, https://www.superiorfireworks.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2026/01/ESS26-ComingSoon-4-300x169.jpg 300w, https://www.superiorfireworks.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2026/01/ESS26-ComingSoon-4-768x432.jpg 768w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px" /></figure>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Early Order, Ship Early</h2>



<p>As the name would suggest, the &#8220;Early Ship Sale&#8221; is all about shipping orders <em>early </em>in the season, which works out great for you and for us. To take advantage of the sale, all you have to do is order from January 30 to March 2 and have it shipped when it’s ready!</p>



<p>As it stands today, based on high on-hand inventory levels and currently scheduled arrival dates for pre-order items, it&#8217;s likely many Early Ship orders will ship in February and March.</p>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-full"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="1024" height="576" src="https://www.superiorfireworks.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2026/01/ESS26-Warehouse.jpg" alt="" class="wp-image-3545" srcset="https://www.superiorfireworks.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2026/01/ESS26-Warehouse.jpg 1024w, https://www.superiorfireworks.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2026/01/ESS26-Warehouse-300x169.jpg 300w, https://www.superiorfireworks.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2026/01/ESS26-Warehouse-768x432.jpg 768w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px" /></figure>



<h3 class="wp-block-heading">How Pre-orders and Payments Work</h3>



<p>When we receive your order, our team will reach out to:</p>



<ul class="wp-block-list">
<li>Collect a <strong>50% down payment</strong></li>



<li>Provide a <strong>shipping estimate</strong></li>
</ul>



<p>Final payment will be collected <strong>Monday, March 16</strong>, or when your order is ready to ship (whichever comes first). Once it’s ready to go, we’ll reach out right away to schedule a shipping date!</p>



<p>If you aren’t able to take delivery of your order by the end of April, please let us know as soon as possible. We will not be able to extend the extra 10% discount, but we can still hold your order and keep your inventory reserved until a later shipping date if needed.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Make 2026 Unforgettable</h2>



<p>The anticipation in the air is palpable, and we can&#8217;t wait to kick off the 2026 fireworks season with you! There is so much to celebrate during <a href="https://www.superiorfireworks.com/blog/2026/01/welcome-to-2026-25-years-superior-250-years-united/">this historic year</a>, and we&#8217;re excited to share these moments with you.</p>

<p>Happy New Year from all of us at Superior Fireworks!</p>



<p>2026 is going to be <em>huge</em>. We’re celebrating <strong>25 years as a company</strong>, our country is heading toward a <strong>once-in-a-generation 250th birthday</strong> on July 4, and we’re ramping up to the official kick-off of our wholesale fireworks season.</p>



<p>But before diving headlong into the rush of fireworks season, we want to take this moment to set the stage, if you will, and share why 2026 is such a special year for our team and our nation.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">25 Years of Superior Fireworks</h2>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-full"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="1024" height="576" src="https://www.superiorfireworks.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2026/01/25-Years-1024x576-2.jpg" alt="" class="wp-image-3541" srcset="https://www.superiorfireworks.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2026/01/25-Years-1024x576-2.jpg 1024w, https://www.superiorfireworks.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2026/01/25-Years-1024x576-2-300x169.jpg 300w, https://www.superiorfireworks.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2026/01/25-Years-1024x576-2-768x432.jpg 768w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px" /></figure>



<p>Twenty-five years ago, Superior Fireworks staked a claim to a little corner of the internet, launched a dream, and began an incredible journey from a bedroom startup to a nationwide fireworks destination serving customers across the country.</p>



<p>At the time, there&#8217;s no way we could have imagined the road ahead, but nothing could be more fulfilling, because this milestone is really about the culmination of <strong>hundreds of thousands of celebrations</strong> our customers have trusted us to be part of since 2001. We&#8217;re immensely proud to share in those moments, big and small: backyards full of laughter, kids with their first sparklers, families and friends making lasting memories, communities celebrating together.</p>



<p>And behind every one of those celebrations is a team that makes it all happen. We’re lucky to work with people who are not only talented, but genuinely fun to be around. The kind of team you want in the trenches with you on a cold demo night, a road trip to a convention, or deep into peak season. They give 100% to our customers, and it shows in the details: communication throughout the order process, orders packed accurately and securely, constant contact with freight companies to keep last-minute shipments on track. It’s not always glamorous, but it’s always done with care.</p>



<p><strong>That’s what 25 years really means to us.</strong> It’s your celebrations, supported by a team that cares about doing it right. To our customers, partners, and everyone who’s worked alongside us over the years: thank you for being part of the Superior Fireworks story.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">July 4, 2026: 250 United</h2>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-full"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="1024" height="576" src="https://www.superiorfireworks.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2026/01/Blog-1024x576-1.jpg" alt="" class="wp-image-3543" srcset="https://www.superiorfireworks.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2026/01/Blog-1024x576-1.jpg 1024w, https://www.superiorfireworks.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2026/01/Blog-1024x576-1-300x169.jpg 300w, https://www.superiorfireworks.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2026/01/Blog-1024x576-1-768x432.jpg 768w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px" /></figure>



<p>On <strong>Saturday, July 4, 2026</strong>, the United States of America celebrates <strong>250 years</strong> of independence.</p>



<p>A milestone like that naturally makes you pause. It’s a chance to be grateful for the freedoms we share, to honor on the people who&#8217;ve carried this country forward, and to celebrate the enduring spirit that still unites us today as Americans.</p>



<p>At Superior Fireworks, we’re proud to celebrate this historic moment with <strong>250 United</strong>. It’s our tribute to the people, the values, and the enduring spark of independence that make this country great. As we all light up the sky with family and friends this year, we’re honored to be part of this nationwide celebration.</p>



<p>In the first 25 years of Superior Fireworks, we’ve learned something simple: each moment matters because it&#8217;s part of a bigger story. That’s true for our company, and it’s true for our country. President George W. Bush put it this way:</p>



<blockquote class="wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow">
<p>We have a place, all of us, in a long story. A story we continue, but whose end we will not see. It is the story of a new world that became a friend and liberator of the old, a story of a slave-holding society that became a servant of freedom, the story of a power that went into the world to protect but not possess, to defend but not to conquer.</p>



<p>It is the American story. A story of flawed and fallible people,&nbsp;<strong>united across the generations</strong>&nbsp;by grand and enduring ideals. The grandest of these ideals is an unfolding American promise that everyone belongs, that everyone deserves a chance, that no insignificant person was ever born. Americans are called upon to enact this promise in our lives and in our laws; and though our nation has sometimes halted, and sometimes delayed, we must follow no other course.</p>



<p><em>— George W. Bush</em></p>
</blockquote>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">2026 Starts Now</h2>



<p>As we step into 2026, we’re doing it with a lot of gratitude and a lot of excitement. Twenty-five years of Superior Fireworks. A historic 250th for our country. And of course, new products on the way, and wholesale season kicking off this week!</p>



<p>We’ll have plenty more to share as we roll into the season, including the full details on the Early Ship Sale and a closer look at what’s new for 2026. For now, thank you for being part of the Superior story. Let’s make this a year worth remembering.</p>

<p>We’re excited to share that wholesale prices are now lower for the remainder of the year, in plenty of time for the New Year’s season! <strong>Most items are about 7% less on average</strong>, which is welcome news for show builders and retailers alike.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Passing Along Savings</h2>



<p>As we shared earlier this year, <a href="https://www.superiorfireworks.com/blog/2025/02/new-tariffs-on-fireworks-imported-from-china/">tariff uncertainty</a> created significant challenges that contributed to inventory shortages, cost increases, import shipping surcharges, and softer sales.</p>



<p>However, we are encouraged by the stability we&#8217;ve seen in recent months. Our <a href="https://www.superiorfireworks.com/blog/2025/05/tariff-relief-for-fireworks-imported-from-china/">tariff rate has remained unchanged since May</a>, and peak-season shipping surcharges have ended. Together, these factors give us more certainty on inventory costs for the remainder of the year, allowing us to revisit our pricing and roll back some earlier increases.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Getting Ready for New Year’s</h2>



<p>We are actively receiving inventory that was delayed in the spring, and selection will improve significantly over the next couple of months. Our website provides real-time inventory updates, including pre-order opportunities for upcoming arrivals.</p>



<p>If you&#8217;re waiting for something specific, you can also sign up for an email alert when it arrives! You&#8217;ll find this option on the product page for any item that is currently sold out.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Looking Ahead to 2026</h2>



<p>We are closely watching the legal challenges that could affect the long-term status of tariffs on fireworks imported from China. If the tariff rate or related policies change, we will update you as soon as possible and adjust pricing as needed.</p>



<p>And don&#8217;t forget, <strong>July 4, 2026 marks America’s 250th birthday</strong>, a once-in-a-generation event. It&#8217;s not too early to start planning! We have a lot of exciting new fireworks on the way and can&#8217;t wait to share them with you.</p>



<p>Get started today by shopping our new, lower prices on wholesale fireworks.</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[
<p>On May 12, the White House <a href="https://www.whitehouse.gov/presidential-actions/2025/05/modifying-reciprocal-tariff-rates-to-reflect-discussions-with-the-peoples-republic-of-china/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">announced a significant reduction in tariffs on imports from China</a>, reducing the total rate on fireworks from <strong>150.3%</strong> to <strong>35.3%</strong>. This change takes effect <strong>Wednesday, May 14</strong>, and will remain in place for <strong>90 days</strong>. This temporary relief offers much-needed support to the fireworks industry by stabilizing costs and creating a narrow window to import additional inventory ahead of the July 4th holiday.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Understanding the Current Tariff Structure</h2>



<p>The tariff rate consists of several components:</p>



<figure class="wp-block-table"><table class="has-fixed-layout"><thead><tr><th>Tariff Rate</th><th>Description</th></tr></thead><tbody><tr><td>5.3%</td><td>Longstanding baseline tariff on fireworks.</td></tr><tr><td>20%</td><td>Added earlier this year in response to the opioid crisis. Initially set at 10% on February 4, and increased to 20% on March 4.</td></tr><tr><td><s>125%</s> 10%</td><td>Trade-related tariff targeting Chinese imports. This was reduced from 125% to 10% effective May 14.</td></tr></tbody></table></figure>



<p><em><strong>Note:</strong> For the remainder of this article, we reference only the additional tariff components imposed this year, excluding the regular 5.3%.</em></p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">How We Got Here</h2>



<p>This has been a very dynamic situation as tariff rates evolved over the past three months. When the additional <a href="https://www.superiorfireworks.com/blog/2025/02/new-tariffs-on-fireworks-imported-from-china/">10% tariff was first introduced in February</a>, our plan was to pass it through as directly as possible on an item-by-item basis as inventory arrived. This was going to average about a 4% price increase from where we started the 2025 season. When the <a href="https://www.whitehouse.gov/presidential-actions/2025/02/imposing-duties-to-address-the-synthetic-opioid-supply-chain-in-the-peoples-republic-of-china/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">10%</a> tariff became <a href="https://www.whitehouse.gov/presidential-actions/2025/03/further-amendment-to-duties-addressing-the-synthetic-opioid-supply-chain-in-the-peoples-republic-of-china/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">20%</a>, we were still going to stick to that plan.</p>



<p>However, in early April, reciprocal tariffs were added, making it <a href="https://www.whitehouse.gov/presidential-actions/2025/04/regulating-imports-with-a-reciprocal-tariff-to-rectify-trade-practices-that-contribute-to-large-and-persistent-annual-united-states-goods-trade-deficits/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">54%</a>, then <a href="https://www.whitehouse.gov/presidential-actions/2025/04/amendment-to-recipricol-tariffs-and-updated-duties-as-applied-to-low-value-imports-from-the-peoples-republic-of-china/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">104%</a>, then <a href="https://www.whitehouse.gov/presidential-actions/2025/04/modifying-reciprocal-tariff-rates-to-reflect-trading-partner-retaliation-and-alignment/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">145%</a>.</p>



<p>We were at <a href="https://www.superiorfireworks.com/blog/2025/04/experience-our-cobra-con-2025-demo-show/">COBRA-CON</a> that week, and the mood within the fireworks community was tense as news came in about increasing back-and-forth rates with China.</p>



<p>As a result, we had to make some fast, difficult decisions:</p>



<ul class="wp-block-list">
<li><strong>Canceled or restructured remaining China shipments</strong>, incurring extra costs to cancel bookings, return containers to our warehouses, and unload them.</li>



<li><strong>Paused or delayed production</strong> meant for New Year’s and next July 4th because China warehouses became overfilled instead of clearing out as expected.</li>



<li><strong>Shifted our pricing strategy</strong> to average tariffs across all products, preventing massive price swings between items and avoiding further disruption to purchasing behavior and supply chains.</li>
</ul>



<p>As a result, we have less inventory and higher costs than originally planned for this season. Further, customers that normally buy drop-ship containers had to cancel and rely on domestic inventory instead, putting added pressure on availability.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">What&#8217;s Next</h2>



<p>The impact of recent trade tensions will have a lasting impact.</p>



<p>Looking ahead, we are not sure where final tariff rates will land. If last week&#8217;s <a href="https://www.whitehouse.gov/fact-sheets/2025/05/fact-sheet-u-s-uk-reach-historic-trade-deal/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">trade deal with the UK</a> is any indication, rates with China aren’t going back to zero, even in a best-case scenario. The current tariff relief is <strong>temporary</strong>, and unless extended or followed by a new agreement, rates will climb back to <strong>54%</strong> after the 90-day window ends.</p>



<p>We will almost certainly see <a href="https://www.freightwaves.com/news/transportation-rates-likely-to-surge-during-tariff-pause" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">higher ocean shipping rates soon as well</a>. Most fireworks importers, along with many others, stopped booking new shipments from China in April, in addition to canceling shipments that had already been booked. <a href="https://www.freightwaves.com/news/trans-pacific-blank-sailings-soar-as-ocean-shipments-plunge" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Huge numbers of sailings were canceled</a> as a result. With this temporary tariff reduction in place, we expect a rush of shipping demand to result in vessel space shortages, increased shipping rates, and possibly fireworks inventory shortages for New Year&#8217;s.</p>



<p>It&#8217;s worth noting that ocean shipping lines only offer limited space per vessel for fireworks, which they often cancel when they have excessive demand for general cargo.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Pricing Impact</h2>



<p>Navigating these challenges is tough. We&#8217;re doing everything possible to shield our customers from the worst impacts while preparing for increased costs in the months ahead. This 4th of July season is our only real chance to prepare financially.</p>



<p>With all of this in mind, we have taken a phased approach, gradually averaging tariffs into our pricing while keeping a close eye on the news.</p>



<ul class="wp-block-list">
<li>We implemented <strong>wholesale price increases</strong> on April 12 and May 1, with a combined impact of about 17% over the start of the season.</li>



<li>We implemented <strong>retail price increases</strong> on May 1, but this was more limited because we reduced markup to help preserve the best possible pricing.</li>
</ul>



<p>Thanks to the current tariff rollback, <strong>prices will remain stable through July 4</strong>.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">What This Means for You</h2>



<h3 class="wp-block-heading">For Wholesale Customers</h3>



<p>Inventory is limited this 4th of July, and if you haven’t placed your wholesale fireworks order yet, <strong>do it now</strong>. The combination of canceled imports and peak-season demand is driving high competition for domestic inventory.</p>

<div class="wp-block-button"><a class="wp-block-button__link wp-element-button" href="/wholesale">Shop Wholesale Fireworks</a></div>
</div>



<h3 class="wp-block-heading">For Retail Customers</h3>



<p>With the <strong>4th of July falling on a Friday</strong>, this will be a huge celebration year at <a href="/visit">our store in Orange Park, Florida</a>! <strong>Shop early</strong> for the best selection, the best pricing, and the best shopping experience of the season.</p>

</div>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Update — May 28</h2>



<p>The U.S. Court of International Trade <a href="https://www.cit.uscourts.gov/sites/cit/files/25-66.pdf">ruled on May 28</a> that these tariffs exceed the president&#8217;s authority granted under the International Emergency Economic Powers Act (IEEPA), the National Emergencies Act (NEA), and the Trade Act of 1974. As such, <strong>the court blocked the tariffs</strong>.</p>



<p>The Trump administration has appealed and is seeking a pause while it challenges the ruling. It seems likely that the case will end up before the Supreme Court.</p>



<p>Even if this ruling is upheld, there is uncertainty about next steps. The court did cite more limited authority to levy tariffs in a more targeted, temporary manner, and we expect that would be implemented on imports from China.</p>



<p>Additionally, we just received notice about shipping surcharges impacting fireworks shipments from China, as expected.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Update — June 11</h2>



<p>The Trump administration announced June 11 that a trade agreement has been reached with China.</p>



<p>Per <a href="https://www.reuters.com/world/china/trump-says-china-will-supply-rare-earths-us-allow-students-2025-06-11/">Reuters</a>: &#8220;A White House official said the agreement allows the U.S. to charge a 55% tariff on imported Chinese goods. This includes a 10% baseline &#8216;reciprocal&#8217; tariff, a 20% tariff for fentanyl trafficking and a 25% tariff reflecting pre-existing tariffs.&#8221;</p>



<p>The pre-existing tariff rate on some product categories is 25%, but as noted above, it&#8217;s only 5.3% for fireworks. As such, <strong>the agreement will maintain the current 35.3% tariff on fireworks</strong>.</p>



<p><em>This is a developing situation with no clear resolution at this time. As such, we are not able to make any immediate changes. We will continue to provide updates as they become available.</em></p>

<ul class="wp-block-list">
<li><em>May 14: This article no longer has the latest information. Read more here: <a href="https://www.superiorfireworks.com/blog/2025/05/tariff-relief-for-fireworks-imported-from-china/">Tariff Relief for Fireworks Imported from China</a></em>.</li>



<li><em>March 4: This article was updated to reflect President Trump&#8217;s <a href="https://www.whitehouse.gov/presidential-actions/2025/03/further-amendment-to-duties-addressing-the-synthetic-opioid-supply-chain-in-the-peoples-republic-of-china/">executive order on March 3</a> that increased the additional tariff rate to 20% effective March 4.</em></li>
</ul>



<p>On February 1, 2025, President Trump signed an <a href="https://www.whitehouse.gov/presidential-actions/2025/02/imposing-duties-to-address-the-synthetic-opioid-supply-chain-in-the-peoples-republic-of-china/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener nofollow">executive order</a> implementing an additional 10% tariff on goods imported from China that enter the United States starting Tuesday, February 4. This was amended in a subsequent <a href="https://www.whitehouse.gov/presidential-actions/2025/03/further-amendment-to-duties-addressing-the-synthetic-opioid-supply-chain-in-the-peoples-republic-of-china/">executive order on March 3</a>, increasing the rate to 20% effective March 4. Here&#8217;s what you need to know about how this affects the consumer fireworks industry and what steps you can take to minimize the impact on your next wholesale fireworks order.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">What does the tariff apply to?</h2>



<p>The order applies to all products from China, without exception. All of the fireworks we sell at Superior Fireworks are imported from China. There is no American manufacturing base for consumer fireworks, and few other countries have the capacity or expertise to produce them to U.S. standards.</p>



<p>Current on-hand inventory is not impacted, and neither is inventory that was already &#8220;loaded onto a vessel at the port of loading or in transit on the final mode of transport prior to entry into the United States&#8221; by February 1.</p>



<p>As such, <strong>all fireworks loaded for shipping from China starting February 1 will be subject to this additional tariff</strong>. This coincides with the start of the peak shipping season from Chinese New Year through the middle of May for fireworks to arrive in the United States for 4th of July celebrations.</p>



<p>Thankfully, we have already received a significant amount of inventory to start our 2025 season, and the vast majority of items currently offered for pre-order to wholesale customers are already in transit on shipping vessels, which provides a buffer period before most prices are impacted.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Who pays the tariff?</h2>



<p><strong>We do.</strong> Importers like us pay tariffs to the U.S. Customs and Border Protection Service based on the value of the goods being imported. This is paid as each shipment is processed before arriving at a U.S. port of entry and becomes part of our landed cost of goods.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">How do tariffs impact pricing?</h2>



<p>Tariffs are included in the calculation we use to set pricing, along with the amounts paid for manufacturing, overseas shipping rates, brokerage fees, and even exchange rate adjustments. Since we expect these new tariffs to be temporary, we are passing them along as closely as possible to actual cost rather than applying normal markup.</p>



<p><strong>On average, our wholesale prices will increase about 8%</strong> after we sell through on-hand stock and move into newly imported inventory that is subject to these tariffs.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">When will pricing be updated?</h2>



<p>We updated wholesale prices effective February 3 for pre-order items that had not yet loaded for shipment from China, since those were the first products impacted. There is no on-hand inventory to sell through, and the inventory currently offered for sale will be subject to the additional tariff as it arrives.</p>



<p>Products immediately impacted are:</p>



<ul class="wp-block-list">
<li><a href="https://www.superiorfireworks.com/wholesale/product/kx5037/feeding-frenzy">Feeding Frenzy</a></li>



<li><a href="https://www.superiorfireworks.com/wholesale/product/w-k1-sx11167/american-creed">American Creed</a></li>



<li><a href="https://www.superiorfireworks.com/wholesale/product/jl4002/compound-v-green-glitter-mines-to-gold-willows">Compound &#8220;V&#8221; Green Glitter Mines to Gold Willows</a></li>



<li><a href="https://www.superiorfireworks.com/wholesale/product/wjg4026/sons-of-liberty">Sons of Liberty</a></li>



<li><a href="https://www.superiorfireworks.com/wholesale/product/whga081906/red-to-silver-stars-with-tails">Silver-to-Red Stars with Tails</a></li>
</ul>



<p>Note that these prices were initially changed to reflect the initial 10% tariff rate, and will be adjusted again, effective March 5, to reflect the newly announced 20% tariff.</p>



<p><strong>For customers who have already placed orders that include these pre-order items, we are honoring the existing pricing on your order.</strong></p>



<p>Moving forward, prices will be adjusted on an item-by-item basis as we transition into inventory received with the additional tariff.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Our Commitment to You</h2>



<p>We understand that any price increase is unpleasant, but we are committed to treating you fairly and communicating as transparently as possible about how current events impact all of us. We will increase prices only when necessary, to the extent required to cover these additional costs, only for the duration that they are needed.</p>



<p>Our best recommendation at the moment is to place your wholesale order as early as possible to minimize the number of items that are impacted by these new tariffs.</p>



<p>If you have any additional questions or concerns, please don&#8217;t hesitate to <a href="/wholesale/contact-us">reach out to our team</a> and we&#8217;ll be happy to help.</p>

<p>Have you ever wanted to shoot an incredible backyard fireworks show, but didn&#8217;t know where to begin? Today, we&#8217;re introducing an amazing new solution to help you overcome that intimidating blank canvas and start filling the sky with fireworks: <strong>Ready-to-Go Shows<img src="https://s.w.org/images/core/emoji/17.0.2/72x72/2122.png" alt="™" class="wp-smiley" style="height: 1em; max-height: 1em;" /></strong>.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">What Are Ready-to-Go Shows<strong><img src="https://s.w.org/images/core/emoji/17.0.2/72x72/2122.png" alt="™" class="wp-smiley" style="height: 1em; max-height: 1em;" /></strong>?</h2>



<p>Ready-to-Go Shows<img src="https://s.w.org/images/core/emoji/17.0.2/72x72/2122.png" alt="™" class="wp-smiley" style="height: 1em; max-height: 1em;" /> are pre-designed fireworks shows prepared by our team using the <a href="https://www.superiorfireworks.com/blog/2023/06/introducing-the-superior-fireworks-show-builder/">Superior Fireworks Show Builder</a> with the <a href="https://www.superiorfireworks.com/blog/2024/05/superior-fireworks-show-builder-ignite-integration/">IGNITE Firing System integration</a>. We&#8217;re leveraging our product knowledge, experience shooting our own shows, and passion for fireworks to create awesome fireworks shows we know you&#8217;ll love!</p>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-full is-resized"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="1024" height="576" src="https://www.superiorfireworks.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2025/01/SB-GrandOverwatch.jpg" alt="" class="wp-image-3342" style="width:768px" srcset="https://www.superiorfireworks.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2025/01/SB-GrandOverwatch.jpg 1024w, https://www.superiorfireworks.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2025/01/SB-GrandOverwatch-300x169.jpg 300w, https://www.superiorfireworks.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2025/01/SB-GrandOverwatch-768x432.jpg 768w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px" /></figure>



<p>Each show is available on our website as a single product you can purchase that includes all the fireworks you&#8217;ll need. You&#8217;ll also be able preview each show in the Show Builder, where you&#8217;ll find an IGNITE module report with instructions for connecting everything at your shoot site.</p>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-full is-resized"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="1024" height="576" src="https://www.superiorfireworks.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2025/01/SB-ModuleReport.jpg" alt="" class="wp-image-3313" style="width:768px" srcset="https://www.superiorfireworks.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2025/01/SB-ModuleReport.jpg 1024w, https://www.superiorfireworks.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2025/01/SB-ModuleReport-300x169.jpg 300w, https://www.superiorfireworks.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2025/01/SB-ModuleReport-768x432.jpg 768w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px" /></figure>



<p>The IGNITE modules and igniters are sold separately, giving you flexibility to use the equipment you already own.*</p>



<p><em>*If your IGNITE modules are not the same as the model assigned for the show, you can substitute an i36 module in place of an i18, but will otherwise have to edit the show settings with your specific hardware so it can update the cue assignments. This will also require printing an updated module report from the Show Builder.</em></p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Who Are They For?</h2>



<p>Our goal is to design a variety of shows that appeal to beginners and enthusiasts alike. Whether you simply don&#8217;t have the time, or frankly, the desire to script your own show, this gives you a great option to still pull off an amazing display.</p>



<p>This can be incredibly valuable in a variety of situations:</p>



<ul class="wp-block-list">
<li>You need some inspiration to get started with your own show design, so you check out what we&#8217;re doing and use some of those ideas in your own show.</li>



<li>You don&#8217;t have time to design a show from scratch, but you find one of our Ready-to-Go Shows<img src="https://s.w.org/images/core/emoji/17.0.2/72x72/2122.png" alt="™" class="wp-smiley" style="height: 1em; max-height: 1em;" /> that you want to modify to get it just the way you like.</li>



<li>You would rather have someone design a complete show for you, so you pick one of our awesome shows and shoot it exactly the way we designed it.</li>



<li>You start shopping on our website, ready to plan the perfect show, but then find one of our shows and think, &#8220;That&#8217;s friggin&#8217; amazing, so why on earth would I mess with perfection?&#8221; and you just buy and shoot the thing! You just saved <em>sooo</em> much time this spring.</li>
</ul>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">What Firing Systems Are Supported?</h2>



<p>We leverage the IGNITE integration within the Superior Fireworks Show Builder to generate an IGNITE Show Code that you can import directly into your IGNITE app for a seamless experience.</p>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-full is-resized"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="1024" height="576" src="https://www.superiorfireworks.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2025/01/SB-IGNITEModule.jpg" alt="" class="wp-image-3314" style="width:768px" srcset="https://www.superiorfireworks.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2025/01/SB-IGNITEModule.jpg 1024w, https://www.superiorfireworks.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2025/01/SB-IGNITEModule-300x169.jpg 300w, https://www.superiorfireworks.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2025/01/SB-IGNITEModule-768x432.jpg 768w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px" /></figure>



<p>Not using IGNITE? No problem! Although you won&#8217;t be able to leverage the direct IGNITE integration, you can still use the Show Details report from the Show Builder as a reference for creating the same show in any system you prefer. We will make COBRA script files available for download as well.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">How Closely Do the Real-Life Shows Match the Show Builder Visualization?</h2>



<p>As of this writing, our team has designed, built, and shot six shows using this exact process end-to-end  to confirm that what you get in the field matches the expectations set by the Show Builder. Here&#8217;s what to expect:</p>



<ul class="wp-block-list">
<li>Live fireworks performance will not <em>precisely </em>match the visualization. This would also be true if you were designing a fireworks show using product videos as a reference. Consumer fireworks are simply not manufactured with the tight tolerances necessary to be 100% consistent from one batch to the next, or even from one worker to the next within the same batch.</li>



<li>In particular, individual item durations will almost never exactly match the visualization, but are mostly within five seconds. Longer-duration items and higher-shot-count items are more prone to timing drifts.</li>



<li>Ultimately, we&#8217;ve been extremely pleased with the outcomes and are confident that you will be too!</li>
</ul>

</div></figure>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">How Do I Get Started?</h2>



<p>We&#8217;ve designed two different collections of shows: one for wholesale customers, and another for customers shopping at our retail store in Orange Park, Florida.</p>



<p>Wholesale shows are generally larger and designed to meet our wholesale minimum while using full cases of each item. For smaller shows, we also take advantage of mixed-case sets and cases with low quantities to provide a great mix of effects.</p>



<div class="wp-block-buttons is-layout-flex wp-block-buttons-is-layout-flex">
<div class="wp-block-button"><a class="wp-block-button__link wp-element-button" href="https://www.superiorfireworks.com/wholesale/category/ready-to-go-shows">Wholesale Ready-to-Go Shows<img src="https://s.w.org/images/core/emoji/17.0.2/72x72/2122.png" alt="™" class="wp-smiley" style="height: 1em; max-height: 1em;" /></a></div>
</div>



<p>Retail shows have been designed with value and variety in mind, giving you incredible options that don&#8217;t have to break the bank.</p>



<div class="wp-block-buttons is-layout-flex wp-block-buttons-is-layout-flex">
<div class="wp-block-button"><a class="wp-block-button__link wp-element-button" href="https://www.superiorfireworks.com/retail/category/ready-to-go-shows">Retail Ready-to-Go Shows<img src="https://s.w.org/images/core/emoji/17.0.2/72x72/2122.png" alt="™" class="wp-smiley" style="height: 1em; max-height: 1em;" /></a></div>
</div>



<p>Our team has been working toward this for almost a year now, and we&#8217;re extremely excited to make this available. Let us know what you think and what you&#8217;d love to see in future Ready-to-Go Shows<img src="https://s.w.org/images/core/emoji/17.0.2/72x72/2122.png" alt="™" class="wp-smiley" style="height: 1em; max-height: 1em;" />!</p>
