US Tariffs, Sigh!

but who's making us sick? the foods we eat and the pharmaceuticals we take. they want us dependent on healthcare

I thought Kennedy was going to deal with this issue.

Back onto tarrifs.... Anyone following the supreme Court case?

Looks like it's going to get overturned and ruled illegal. Some people are saying it'll be a 7-2 decision, some a full 9-0 decision.

Of course that's based on the people who watch / report on the courts based on their tome and questioning, so it's not a form sure thing... And could still take months. But it's not looking good! And it's speculated that if it's ruled illegal that means businesses that have had to pay tarrifs will get a refund for it, which I'm sure all the money was already spent.


It's an interesting case to watch

It will be interesting to see if the tariffs are overturned if the decision(s) impact the De Minimis Exemption and the Informal Entries as well.

Yeah, I think the de minus affects Canada more than the tarrifs do since we have cusmca. I know it's destroyed temu / shein and all the Chinese sites.... I've heard most of the Canadian retailers on eBay / Etsy and all the online sites have pretty much had to shut shop.


We ship quite a bit to America... Before it was easy, now it requires pre clearing and providing cusmca certification saying the products were made in Canada with Canadian / USA goods... And even then, our customer for an $800 charge in a $4000 order... It took us a week to get it fixed, and we're told even with all the proper documentation ups is getting billed for goods it shouldn't, and they have no choice but to pass it onto the customer while it's being fought.... Shipping is a mess right now. Would be nice if deminis change and tarrifs went away!
