They should just ship things the same way they ship fentanyl. It would be cheaper and faster.

Yet many countries are getting closer to China and being cheered on by many of the hate the US people.

Shouldn’t EU countries do something to stop Russia?

This guy should be sued into oblivion by shareholders.

I’m sorry your business isn’t agile enough to deal with your logistics issues. Perhaps you can find a market in your home country. 🤷🏻

This shipping limitation is exaggerated. How many people commenting here with the sky is falling are actually impacted in a way that can’t be corrected?

My argument is to remove your self imposed limit of “regular postal system” and this is a non issue. You as a business absolutely can send packages to US customers. The costs have gone up but you can still ship.

You seem to be arguing from a point of orange man is bad and trade should be free (except for US businesses).

All countries should remove all barriers to trade!

I never voted for Trump and have never in my life voted Republican. I do have a history as a business owner dealing with unfair trade practices from other countries though.

EU de minimis does not apply to US imports. Japan is about $70, Australian non resident businesses over $75k of sales need to register and pay GST (10%) regardless of the de minimis, for NZ, the threshold is about $30k and the GST is 15%

Facts.

Your claims are exaggerated

• Bloomberg Economics estimates the tariffs will reduce U.S. GDP by 0.15% and increase consumer prices by 0.1% over three years.
• The expanded tariffs cover 407 specific product categories—but “hundreds of thousands” overstates the scope.
• The U.S. has domestic steel and aluminum production. Nucor and Cleveland-Cliffs have seen stock price increases, and Minnesota’s iron ore industry has benefited from past tariffs.
• The media isn’t quiet about these issues, you may not understand the issues so you aren’t seeing reports to back up your misunderstanding

DHL, UPS, FedEx are still shipping from what I’ve read.

Seems unlikely it will hurt much.

Also, what I did the next time was purchase a RT ticket to LA from Tahiti purchased the part and returned with it. This was less expensive than paying the import duties and when I declared it at customs, they said I owed nothing.

Its not just tiny countries. This is common most places. Travel and import things and report back.

A one-way free market isn’t good for the US.

What a dumb comparison. So many haters of anything US here. Yet, more people want to live here than anywhere else. 😂

Try illegally moving to any other country, try importing duty free anywhere else.

Ya know, I just had a $100 part shipped to me from the US to French Polynesia through a broker I paid. Package is delivered by DHL and customs sits on it for 10 days. Then they charge me a “tax” equal to 100% and they included the shipping price I paid in the calculation.

If it’s okay for other countries to charge this BS, the US should be able to as well.

Oh, and don’t even think about over staying your visa in FP!
