This is my thinking, with hundreds of thousands of new shipments now available for potential inspection, CBP will be spread even thinner. Seizures may go up but I can't see any way that they can inspect/intercept a large percentage of them when all of the Aliexpress and Temu orders are now included in the potential inspection process.
De-minimis-trade rule changes were actually proposed by Biden but Trump will likely support it.
Shein has been funding my weight loss wardrobe lately. This is devastating.
My local thrift stores aren't worth the price, it's all shein clothes but somehow marked up even higher.Was that Amo? I want to place an order with them but I'd be a new customer so I'm just sitting here waiting for their site to come back up.
Man Canada is gonna be erased off the map, Trudeau wants to apply 25% tariff for stuff from the US.
I had suspected I was being paranoid when I was hoarding. Now it seems I was right. Of course a month from now this whole thing may have blown over.
I think a tariff is the least of our concerns. We haven't paid sufficient duties on the items we are importing. I don't know about your supplier, but mine lists the item as kitty litter on the invoice.
Even still, kitty litter is also going to be subject to additional tariffs so we’ll see prices increase. These things are not being applied in a surgical manner.
Yeah but think about the quantity and value of a gallon of kitty liter and how many vials that can make. A single gallon of kitty liter can probably make about 100 kits ( just a guess, its like counting jellybeans) The increase should be negligible and its on the supplier cost side not the retail price side. So if Nexa sells a kit for $200 , and its cost is $20 (which is possible though my numbers are purely hypothetical) and instead its costs go up to $25, technically they do not have to raise the price to still make a huge profit
You are invoiced as kitty litter, t-shirts or whatever. It is likely the product is imported as something else. Importing peps as kitty litter would not pass even a cursory inspection. It's more likely being imported as some type of skin care product or maybe a dietary supplement. This aligns with the packaging we typically receive and requires the product to be analyzed to tell what it actually is.
I know, what I was pointing out is that the new tariffs are not targeted so no matter what they’ve been listing it as, it will see an increase.
There's 100% going to be more scrutiny of products as well. I suspect prices will either go up to prepare for more reships, or the reship guarantees are donezo.
You don't think Nexa will be affected? While they ship from US , don't they have to get a bulk shipment in from China?
Cain has a new q&a section in his telegram, you can ask him directly there.
I don't know how his supply chain works. He said today that he finishes in the US. I assume his raws are from CN at the very least, but I don't want to put words in his mouth. I have zero clue how or if he'd be effected. Everything is conjecture at this point.Which sub forum did he post that in? He will no longer be selling in US ? Or by "finish" you mean complete the process of preparing the tirz for shipping?
On his telegram in the Q&A section.
