De minimis orders no longer exempt from 145% tariff

China isn't going to blink cause its easier to restore demand shock than supply shock over time

China can just lower their prices to everyone else by 2/3rds for everyone else and tick up prices later and this is exactly what happened when I just tried to order some of the smaller parts ... they were 2 dollars each vs 6.

We're cooked,

1. I have a couple of items on their way from AliEx but ordered and paid a week ago, so lucky, no tariffs....

[uponit7771]

10. Yeah, I thought maybe I'd get last minute items ... Nope

2. IMPEACH KRAZNOV NOW! Get the ruskie puppet our of US Govt!

[Initech]

4. And his whole damn nightmare rotation cabinet!

Along with the SCOTUS justices illegally installed by the Heritage Foundation and the MAGA lunatics currently infecting Congress and the Senate - they all need to go! Fox News sucks at running our government. It is not their plaything.

[SheltieLover]

5. Yes! All repukes are complicit & must go!

Straight to prison, imo.

You're right! Our govt is neither their toy nor their personal profit center.

And yet, this destruction is allowed to continue unbridled.

[Initech]

8. Yup, anyone aiding and abetting this nightmare is complicit.

11. That's 75% of the M$M

3. The laptop I've been looking at went up by $250.

Fuck this piece of shit, I'll tell him where he can shove his tariffs and his external revenue service.

6. Parts for computers, cars and appliances are going up - even those made outside China.

There will be widespread gouging

12. RIGHT !!! and even their supply chain has been affected negatively

[Tickle]

7. Can you buy from another country?

It’s not that China owns the U.S., but they are deeply embedded in global supply chains—especially for raw materials, electronics, pharmaceuticals, and manufacturing. Over the past few decades, many American companies outsourced production to China because it was cheap, fast, and scalable. That created a dependency.

The good news is, yes—we can and should buy from other countries or even bring production back home. The challenge is that rebuilding those supply chains takes time, investment, and political will. Countries like India, Mexico, and Vietnam are becoming alternative suppliers, but shifting away from China isn't like flipping a switch—it's a long-term strategic move that the U.S. is slowly starting to make.

13. Not at scale, price and specs from China ... The other countries were repackaging the parts they were selling

14. I did my last order from Temu the other week, no tariff. I wish I'd ordered more. :(
