TL;DR I didn't make it in time. Fuck you Trump!
Edit: For those asking, this was https://www.irvwpc.com/ Please support them if you can.
Any news about your part Sir_Kevin? I'm curious if anything has happened since Trump already backpedaled a bit.
They actually got back with me and pointed me towards a US seller that they had shipped to before the tariffs went into effect. So I was able to buy it from them and dodge all that freedom we have at the border.
Wow that's quite nice of them as well!
I was very impressed by that. It's so rare to see a company actually give a shit about anyone.
All the business owners voted trump and now they’re crying about free trade 😂
I hope they all fucking starve. I mean it won't happen but I can dream.
Trump is a Russian asset. America will fall within a year. Russia and China will expand their territories freely until Europe is ready to arm itself.
Hold off. Kraznov is getting so much shit he is going to walk it back, so he says. Can't trust him any more than a rabid bat though.
It’s exciting time for smugglers. Ever wanted to be one now is prime business hours. Go make Han Solo proud like my mother used to in iron curtain 80s
I cant wait until the European/Mexican/Chinese parts that I order from the USA that always arrive with a customs declaration of Origin:USA .. starts biting me in the ass because of their ignorance and Canadian Customs tries to hit me with Tariffs that shouldnt apply.
the better option is to just stop doing business with American shops. and thats what I've chosen, the USPS and Canadian Postal service are both such shitholes, that I have legitimatley recieved stuff from the UK, Poland and Denmark faster than I've recieved stuff fom Illinois and Iowa , in the orders I've made this year. For small things too.
Any time an eligible item crosses the US / Canada border, a 25% tariff is applied. This is how the US does it, so this is what the Canadian government is copying.
This is terrible for auto manufacturing, where various parts cross the border multiple times between raw materials, loose parts, assembled parts and assembled vehicle. Every time those parts or materials cross either border, it gets tariffed 25%.
I believe if your item comes from the US, lands in another country, gets re-labeled and then enters Canada, it won't be tariffed, but don't quote me on that.
How do they define "an item", because couldn't a bunch of people get together and order stuff from outside the US and then just have it all delivered in one big box? Are they going to open every box to make sure that there's only one item in it, how do they know it's not just one big item?
For example if I order one washing machine then that's one item but if I order various parts for a washing machine then that's lots of items, but technically the washing machine already contained those parts that were considered one item
The tax is on the value , if you declare your washing machine has value of 1$ then the tax would be labelled accordingly but that would be a fraud.
Hence if you order parts of the washing machines you would have to declare value of the individual part and it would be taxed accordingly.
I believe it has to be declared on the packing manifest, but it relies on the expeditor being truthful. That's my understanding of it.
I don't think it's about the place of manufacture, but rather the place of origin. A lot of items are manufactured all over the place.
I bought a bunch of electronics from China back in December. No regrets.
I'm worried their networking equipment could be compromised, worse than "American" equipment.
