Tariffs...what to make of them.

[stb222]

A fee to process the original fee you paid.

YOLO, if these $2000 chdcks are really coming who cares about the fees. Fee away!

Well... looking at the O-chain website, most are 385 Euros (about $446) plus 25 Euros for shipping, so I'd WAG the $54.75 is on the $446, since the duty is on the declared value of the goods. So... about 12% on the declared value?

With the 30% discount, I paid $286 for my oChain N.

Ok... so depending on what the Euro-$ exchange rate is, that appears to be around a 25% tariff. Ouch.

More like 19% … plus UPS surcharges.

If you dont mind...I would love to know what you originally paid...at least that way, we can have some idea of the rate we will expect

I have an Illy pod espresso machine in my office.
Tuesday i got a notice from Amazon that there would be a price increase on a subscription.
Each canister of 21 pods in three discs of seven each inside a cylindracal tin. They had been priced around $18+/-. The new price in January would be $38.Of course the commodity price of coffee has been way up. I would guess the tariff is a component of the delta.



So I've got that going for me.

Most of the population isn't aware of how the USD has depreciated versus the Euro in the past 10 months.

And they don't care as long as Mexicans can't use the unisex port-o-potty to read To Kill a Mockingbird.

My calculation is based on the tariff only on the actual item, not the total purchase price. This is based on what I've filled out when shipping items overseas and filling out the USPS customs form. "Usually" the tariff is only on the declared value of the item being imported and does not include shipping costs.

We agree. It’s high and sucks.

Definitely. I'm not planning to buy much until this all gets sorted out. There is still a reasonable chance the whole tariff thing gets ruled unconstitutional and then there will be a massive shit-show as they try to figure out how to refund everyone...

Find a way to keep your receipts. You might get the tariff back... but the processing fee is probably gone forever... although I could imagine a class-action suite happening, which might get you some of it back.

The publically traded Total US Equity Markets index is up 20.8% YTD 10/31.

Executive Summary: the trains are on time, therefore don't mind that smell from the ovens and please look the other way while we loot billions in corruption taxes.
