"President Donald Trump said the United States would impose a new tariff of 100% on imports from China “over and above any Tariff that they are currently paying,” starting on Nov. 1.

Trump also said that the U.S. on that same date also would impose export controls on “any and all critical software.”

The move is in retaliation for new export controls that China imposed on rare earths minerals."

        No see it’s cheaper then for a reseller to purchase the products from China, then reship them at a higher cost to the U.S. Middleman makes there money, China still gets to sell of of their stuff and the U.S. population gets higher prices for the same products “Made in Nepal.”

          Not allowed, you still have to pay the tariff if it’s made in China. If you don’t, it’s just contraband

              Nobody will investigate a $15 product. They will investigate a $150 million shipment from Nepal, though

                Did you miss when they reduced the investigations from 80k or so to 0? Every package has to be investigated now. It’s lock down. Only a believer in extreme government overwatch would believe in that. You know… Like MAGA
