Collection: TARIFFS

Tariffs are taxes ultimately paid by CONSUMERS on the imported items they purchase. They are initially paid by the businesses that import the goods, which are then passed along to consumers in the form of higher prices.

Since a vast majority of the new items I sell originate in China, a tariff on Chinese goods will need to be paid by me before US Customs will release my shipments. I cannot absorb this extra expense, so I will be forced to raise my prices to cover the cost of tariffs, IF and WHEN they are implemented. If tariffs on the new products that I import exceed 10%, then I will only import items that are special-ordered by the customer, and paid in full in advance (including tariffs). There will be NO refunds on special orders.

Ordering from a retailer in another country will not circumvent the taxes. The US Government does not care where the item is being SHIPPED FROM, it only cares about the COUNTRY OF ORIGIN. The only LEGAL way for a foreign-made article to enter this country BY ANY MEANS is to have a COUNTRY OF ORIGIN declaration.

Items that are already in the US prior to implementation of tariffs will obviously not have any additional markup, so you may notice similar items with different prices for a while after tariffs take effect.
