The Last Tariff Free Chinese Ships Arrive This Week

As Malcolm Nance said on freespeechtv.org on Stephanie Miller last week, the shit hits the fan on May 10th.

Companies still have a few weeks of inventory on hand to bide some time but the tariff effect is going to begin in earnest, soon.

Tariffs are applied at the port of entry. Tariffs aren't applied when ships leave China, or when sales are made.

They don't grandfather ships in who are on their way. The ship could literally be an hour from port when the tariffs are applied and the goods they then carried would cost more once they are unloaded.
