New 10% tariffs on goods from China

[Peptoidian]

So apparently as of today there is a new 10% tariff on all goods from China. Anyone know how this is going to work for peptide purchases? I expect it will increase costs but how does the tariff actually get paid? At what part of the purchase/shipping/import/customs/delivery process does this happen?

Your custom agent will send you an itemized invoice

I just did a bunch of reading on this and think I can answer my own question. The tariff is paid by at customs by whoever imports the product. Given my understanding of how peptides are shipped it's likely the freight forwarder/special line that handles this. So all we will see is slightly higher prices.

Maybe slightly, or maybe vendors will use this a justification to increase pricing. They will pay 10% on the declared value, there is no telling what that value is for the skin products they are importing. Could be a value of $10 per kit, which would increase the cost by $1.
