jäin tätä miettimään etteikö Nokian/Erkin jenkkiasiakkaat maksa noita, eikö muka ole sopimuksissa huomioitu mahdollisia tulleja, ainakin valuutat aina sopimuksissa ehdollisina
ChatGpt olisi samaa mieltä että isot yritykset huomioivat nämä sopimuksissa ?
toki se minkä osan Nokia haluaa kantaa lienee eri asia, kun lähteä esim TMO:ltä tällä hetkellä nyhtämään lisää
Yes, most international companies—including tech firms like Nokia—do include contractual clauses or strategic mechanisms in their agreements to address tariffs, trade barriers, or other geopolitical risks, especially when operating across multiple countries.
Here’s how this typically works:
1. Tariff Pass-Through Clauses (or Force Majeure-type terms)
- Some contracts include explicit clauses that allow companies to adjust prices if new tariffs, duties, or taxes are imposed after the agreement is signed.
- These are often written as “change in law” or “regulatory change” clauses.
- Example:
“In the event of any new import duty, tariff, or government-imposed fee impacting the cost of goods, the seller reserves the right to adjust the unit price accordingly.”
2. Manufacturing Strategy
- Companies like Nokia, which manufacture in Vietnam, India, and other regions, often do this specifically to diversify trade exposure.
- If tariffs are imposed on one country, production can be shifted to another.
- This is a supply chain resilience tactic, not necessarily a contractual one, but it influences pricing.
3. Pricing Flexibility in B2B Contracts
- In long-term B2B agreements, especially with telecom operators, Nokia would typically build in flexibility to adjust pricing based on cost increases.
- This may be in the form of:
- Indexed pricing (e.g. linked to raw material or shipping cost indices)
- Annual price reviews
- Clauses allowing renegotiation under “material adverse change” conditions
4. End Customers and Tariffs
- For consumer products (phones, routers, etc.), end customers almost always bear the cost indirectly.
- If tariffs increase Nokia’s cost, the retail price goes up (or margins go down if they choose to absorb it temporarily).
Summary
Yes, companies like Nokia often do have mechanisms—either contractual or strategic—to pass tariff-related costs to customers or adjust accordingly. It’s part of modern global supply chain and legal risk management.
If Trump’s proposed tariffs were implemented, companies would review these clauses and adjust prices where possible—either immediately (contractual allowance) or on next pricing cycle.
