Commodore says it is working to keep international delivery charges for its revived TAC-2 joystick as fair as possible, but US tariffs are increasing the cost of sending the product to American customers. The issue matters because tariffs and shipping costs can significantly raise the final price of retro hardware, potentially limiting access for buyers outside the manufacturer’s home market.

The TAC-2 is a reissued version of the classic Commodore joystick, aimed at retro-gaming enthusiasts. Commodore has indicated that it is absorbing or managing some costs where possible, while warning that tariff-related expenses are difficult to avoid and may affect US orders.
