So.... if someone orders a $0.50 piece of plastic that costs $25 from an online Chinese dealer, they'll get hit with a $100 flat rate tariff fee as well?
Amazon put most of their domestic sellers distributing imports out of business when they opened their market for direct shipping to their customers from China. Not only did US sellers have to pay to import the goods through customs but they were subject to inspections and testing to make sure they were safe. China got Epackets delivered by the PO for around 80 cents on light psckahes while US sellers had to pay regular postage costing from $4 to $6 to delever as close as down the block. E packets from Chins had no import duties or inspectinns in most cases on packages valued under $800.
it's even worse than this. look up the brokerage scandal. they use a huge series of brokerages to claim multiple shipping containers of stuff was a bunch of small shipments under the limit. the bills of lading presented to customs would show the separate brokerages addresses, but the brokerages would just have forwarding in place all to amazon warehouses. so the containers/pallets would get unloaded, and shipped straight to amazon. it's why the de minimis exemption was eliminated entirely... because they were abusing the shit out of it.
Haha letting the customers eat 100% of tariffs is entirely America's fault, God forbids if the seller takes even a small hit to their own profit on Chinese shits that cost pennies to produce
Equal to or more than $185? 54% of value, pay able by player
The attempt at English text under it is ignorable, unless you're interested in the part where the 54% used to be 120%. Or if you want to look at it a different way, the tariff is essentially max(100, value*0.54).
I read it three times, I can't even figure out what it's saying.
Must be because I'm not smart enough to watch Rick and Morty.
anything below 185 gets slapped with an additional 100. not covering the shipping cost too. All because muh tarrifs.
unsurprisingly reddit blames burganistan because their cheap anime shit is affected.

I'm not seeing the downside here.

le happy scalper moment

There's literally a table right there.
The attempt at English text under it is ignorable, unless you're interested in the part where the 54% used to be 120%. Or if you want to look at it a different way, the tariff is essentially max(100, value*0.54).
So... 54% with a minimum of $100. People sure love to over-complicate things.
The ordering is a bit weird (I'd put the middle one on the left), and I may be a bit clueless.
Agreed. Good formatting would put the variable of the value on the left and maybe apply some sort of header formatting or at least bold.
