So I have to do some imports from China every now and then. Deal with customs and such.

And I have to say the 25% tariff is on pretty much everything from China and it is insane. So if I get quoted 600 for shipping I guarantee half of that is customs.

Of course you can get an exemption if you're loaded I'm sure. But for the average person buying goods it is nuts.

Oh and the funny thing is most things are still way cheaper than their American counterpart with the tariff.
