An Update On Tarrifs

For The Popcorn

I received by boards and parts for the vending machine project today. I was pleasantly surprised to say the least.

On a $185 assembly order from JLC, delivered by DHL, no tarrif or additional fees were charged.

On a $68 parts order from Tayda Electronics (Thailand), delivered by DHL, no tarrif or additional fees were charged.

On a $16 + tax and shipping from Avnet, a ~$10 "tarrif recovery fee" was charged, later reduced to ~$3. This was for ST Micro triacs, which had to be in the US already, as they shipped the next day.

On a Digikey order, two tarrifs were charged:

10% on TDK capacitors

A little less than 10% on $2 of diodes.

Again, both of these parts had to be in the US as they shipped the next day.


So today at least, the only tarrifs charged were by US companies in anticipation of paying larger tarrifs.

The orange cheeto is on the news again, blabbering about tarrrifs being too high (the tarrifs he imposed with a Sharpie scribbled signature) so who knows what's to come.


Before anyone criticizes my comments, please understand that tarrifs are paid by consumers, NOT BY SUPPLIERS. If you can't understand that, there is no need to comment.
 
At noon (EDT), President Trump's DJIA $42,117 (up $863, 2.11%). It was up more than $1,000 earlier. NASDAQ up $619 (3.46%).

How's your lemonade stand doing?
Points, not $.

Today's market gain is like asking me why my hand feels so good today. Answer: I stopped hitting it with a hammer.

I'm supposed to feel good that he stopped doing dumb things?
 
There is so much corruption and rot in the trump administration and you point to an slight increase in the stock market which he CRASHED as success?

This is not the place to debate the destruction trump has caused to the nation and the world. My momma told me never to argue with fools, particularly delusional ones, so I'll stick to the topic at hand – the impact of tariffs on members of this community.
