Mostly just on dry goods. Corals will be listed as cheaper to authorities and paid differently by vendor.
Dry goods can potentially raise a ton though.

145% increase. Most equipment will be much higher. So I think this will definitely drive more people out of the hobby and keep new hobbyist from joining when even Jebaos and other will be so much higher in price. I thought inflation was bad, this is even worse. But this is just a hobby, everything else in life will be more too. All countries will be have at least 10% tariff and back to those crazy tariffs in 90 days from every country.

Are cars still 25% tariff?

I seriously can't keep track of this schizo tariff plan, things change like the wind, and no rhyme or reason. We punish countries that are our friends, and even when we have a surplus with. LOL.

Those other countries charge us tarrifs much higher than 10%. China steals all our intellectual property. The do not fallow patent law at all and have been caught spying on companies and our government many time. If a company is stupid enough to have a product manufactured in China, they will copy it and be selling it before the company has their first prototype in hand. I have seen that first hand! It was not competive to have a lot of products made in the US. For that exact reason I never had some products made I was considering.
We need the be self-sufficient as a nation again. Covid proved that when all our PPE was coming from China and the stopped shipping it initially. If heven forbid a real war were to break out we would not stand a chance, because almost everything we depend on(medical supplies, steel, ships, most electronics and much more) comes from China! The tariffs may cause some short term pain, but will be well worth it in the long run.

How short is this short term pain? 3 months? 1 year? 5 years?

thanks at our clown president,,,(criminal convict of 34 charges),,,
Don’t you have a 3 hour protest from 5 years ago to be complaining about?


it would be impressive if you could actually explain what those 34 charges were for. Truth is that Biden Harris Weaponized the justice system the exact same way Adolf Hitler did and only a Nazi would defend those charges.

Why was Russia excluded from tariffs while some remote island with no inhabitants get a 10% tariffs? And why do countries that we sell have trade surplus with also get 10% tariffs?

Because Russia is under International Embargo due to Invasion of Ukraine. We don't export or import anything from Russia.

Unfortunately we'll never bring manufacturing back to the US again, it just costs too much and companies don't like losing profits in order to pay people a living wage. That and American made products would cost too much for the average American to afford, it's simple economics.

Exactly, its just too many humans on this world, not enough resources for keep up with our demands, we are killing the forests, oceans, animals, fresh water for agriculture.

That has a lot to do with the fact we have not had tariffs on other countries while they tariffs the crap out of US made products.

Not really, it has everything to do with the fact that we allowed corporations to manufacture outside the states and not charge them for it. We are the biggest exporter of raw materials and the biggest importer of finished goods. That’s why we are a service economy and no longer manufacture anything. Corporations only care about profit and paying shareholders and not the middle class.
