Durable Tariffs, Stronger Roots: What the New Shipping Regulation Stands for The Cocodepot

We believe in being transparent with our customers; we grow best in stuff trust.
Thecocodepot (TCD) is based on a simple principle: delivering high-quality and sustainable
growing solutions that work with nature rather than against it.
From its patented GroEzy Prefills to its innovative ready-to-use coco pots, TCD has built a
community of conscious growers and commercial cultivators who believe in quality,
consistency, and environmental responsibility.
But sometimes even the most rooted brands have to shift with the tides of change.
What’s New?
Due to the international reform regarding shipping tariffs, all inbound shipments will now
attract a flat increase of 10% in duties and handling as of now. Consequently, from this
month onwards, all products will have new TAM price tags featuring an additional 10% hike  right away.
It's not something we do easily, but we want to do it honestly.
Now, Why the Price Hike? Let's uncoil:
• Rising prices of international freight and ports
• Updated tariff imposed by the government on import goods
• Higher transport costs of raw materials, customs clearance
These changes bring direct bearing on each and every shipment that we do and, as a brand
that holds ethical sourcing and fair labor in high esteem, we cannot cut corners.
What Doesn't Change Despite the numbers fluctuating a little, our quality and
promises never will:
• 100% Natural Coco Coir Products
• Pre-filled, Ready-to-Grow Convenience
• Sustainable Practices at Every Step
• Support for Bulk Orders & Industry Growers
• Transparent Pricing—No Surprises FAQs: What You Need to Know
Q: Will all products be affected?
Yes. The 10% increase applies across our entire catalogue due to rising shipment and import  costs.
Q: Are there cheaper shipping options?
We’re actively exploring alternate shipping partners and consolidated cargo solutions to
mitigate further costs in the future.
Q: Is the quality going to change?
Absolutely not. Our premium coco coir and patented GroEzy Prefills will continue to meet
the same high-quality standards you expect.
A Word from Our Founder
“This isn’t just a business. It’s a mission to build better soil, better habits, and better futures.
The current price adjustment reflects changes in trade dynamics that are beyond our
control. But our control lies in how we respond—with honesty, with integrity, and with a
renewed focus on quality. We will never compromise the values that built Thecocodepot.”
— Team TCD  Yes, prices are increasing. But so is our commitment to serve, support, and innovate with  you.
In nature, growth isn’t linear it’s adaptive. It bends with the wind, adjusts to the soil, and
still pushes upward. The same is true for us. These challenges, while tough, are just another  opportunity to prove our resilience as a brand and as a community. 
Thank You for Growing With The Cocodepot
To every grower who has chosen to make sustainability a part of their process, we thank
you. This journey is about more than just plants it’s about the values we plant, the choices we  nurture, and the future we cultivate together.
Whether you're growing one pot or a thousand, your support helps us continue to innovate, inspire, and stand strong rooted in purpose.
So, let’s keep planting progress, one pot at a time.
