The Unknown Hidden Cost of the Tariff on Chinese Goods

I wouldn't pay it. Send them a check for the amount on the PO, plus shipping if appropriate.

If you would rather pay them then us, pay the tariff.

Now I was thinking, do the tariffs also go for Europe? I could order from China without tarifs, and ship to the US?

Tariffs are a federal import TAX based on the country of ORIGIN, not the sh ipment point.

If you manufacture a product from components of various origins and it has sufficient domestic content under the relevant rules, it becomes a product of that place, and subject to treatment as such.

In some cases, they don't even bother trying to claim any particular countr y of origin and just say it's one or more of (... list) of countries, which works well when taxes are low or zero, or even if they're equal, but not s o well when one belligerent regime is targeting a certain country over othe rs.

If you do not pay customs charges, they can take the goods and sell them for recovery. Follow your advice and let us know what happened to the stuff.

• Fer eXample, the US targeting China...

Are you suggesting that a supplier will raid our facility and seize goods because we paid them the contracted amount for them?

Ha, let them try.

I've seen hotels try to add an energy surcharge onto the room rate

*after* quoting a rate. And restaurants add an employee health care premium to the menu prices. Nice try.

Over here it is: - if you want to annoy someone, get the police on them - if you want to be nasty to someone, get the Inland Revenue on them - if you want to be thoroughly mean to someone, get HM Customs & Excise on them

HMRC have far more powers than the police, especially w.r.t. breaking and entering without warrants. It is a legacy of when they rode around on horseback in the dead of night, catching smugglers in the act.

You don't seem to understand. He already has the goods. The tariff has al ready been paid by the distributor. Most likely when ordering the goods he was informed of the possibility of the tariff or possibly the exact amount of the tariff on a quote. If he fails to pay the distributor won't let hi m order from them again.

The tariffs I've seen on components have been exceedingly small. Maybe his tariff is not so small, can't say.

Wait, you are the OP. Why are you responding like the goods are sitting in customs?

My internet went down as I was responding to something like this.

It was audiophiles. A manufacturer of IIRC preamps. We are into audiophoolery here I think.

They take maybe five bucks worth of metal for a chassis, add in some boards to the tune of a whopping hundred bucks if that, and then charge $2,000 for it.

To hear them bitch about it, well...

The tariffs I've seen on components have been exceedingly small.

Remove the word "waitress" and substitute a reaper of audiophool monetasia.

So fukum. Hey, YOU sell something right ? What if nobody has the money ?

Let's go. You are now equal with serfs who work for eight cents per hour.

Tariffs, still pissed off ?

Umm, Rick, that was not totally at you.

That's ok. It's hard to feel insulted when it isn't understood. Are you off your meds or something???

Were you trying to say someone was spending $100 to make something they sell for $2000 and then complained about a small tariff??? It's hard to find that in what you wrote, so I may just be seeing faces in the forest.
