Collection: TARIFFS

The United States Government has absolutely no authority to make foreign countries pay tariffs or penalties on items that they export to the United States. NONE. That is a blatant lie, just like the lie that Mexico was going to pay for the border wall. They didn't, and they never will.

Tariffs are taxes paid by CONSUMERS on the imported items they purchase. They are actually paid by the businesses that import the goods, which are then passed among to consumers in the form of higher prices. The fact that this simple truth has eluded half of all US citizens is astonishing.

Think you can circumvent the system by ordering from a retailer in another country? Think again. 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.

IF tariffs are implemented as promised, EVERYTHING is about to get much more expensive. Even many of the items assembled in the United States utilize imported components.

Since a vast majority of the 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 and will not absorb this extra expense.

Let's all hope that the promise of tariffs will never materialize. If it does, however, I will be forced to raise my prices to cover the cost of tariffs, whatever that increase may be.

If tariffs on the 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.

Don't take my word for it...the facts are out there for anyone that takes the time to look them up.
