Tariff impact, can't get clearer than this

So what does gemini import, aluminum? So that is the surcharge? Expensive for the mounting pattern, they don’t import that, or do they. How big was the plaque, was there other metal letters in volved.

We bring in aluminum tent frames and got a big surprise when we tallied up the tariffs on our last shipment and they stacked up to 100% effectively doubling the cost if they frames (we were usually in the 17% range previously). This ads about $150 to our 10x10 pop up tents which were one of our most popular products. This affects our pull up banners and a lot of other display items as pretty much all the frames come from China even if we print the actual printed portions here. It’s been a rough adjustment.
