And again, no one has to type words you want to hear. No one has to answer your specific questions.
The comment was simply saying (as far as I understood it) that the administration seems to have no idea what tariffs are nor how to use them to their benefit.
You were being the ass by somehow deciding your questions and views are the only important ones, and that any response must be on your terms or is worthy of scorn.
No one has to answer your questions. They can make whatever comments they want. No need to be an ass.
The tariffs are simply an import duty and they are calculated by HS code and product origin. They are paid by an import agent at the point of import before the goods are released.
In practice many items sent by courier will not get any duty historically. It depends what, if anything, customs decide to do. I don't think the manpower exists to look at every package and charge accordingly.
They'll just do it for randomly selected shipments, much like only a handful of shipping containers will get customs checks each day. It's not practical to apply it across the board, so the tariffs will be based almost entirely on paperwork. There's nothing at all stopping a seller from misdeclaring origin and value on paperwork to avoid duties, but why would they when the tariffs don't have any bearing on the sellers?
There was a de minimis exception for anything under 800 USD for courier shipments, but numbnuts got rid of that too.
Republican.
Calm down, Hitler.
Three incidences of childish behaviour a decade ago won't make you good or bad.
American importers, companies, and citizens pay every last cent of these tariffs. It's an import duty. Not that it wasn't evident, but Trump is thick as pig shit.
This exact wording is posted loads across the years, but the people speaking are always different.
It's an absolute gem. My favourite comedy movie and also very warm-hearted. It's an Aussie institution.
I'd also highly recommend a British TV movie from the 70s called Nuts in May about a middle-class couple going camping. It's also light-hearted and hilarious, and very English, much as The Castle is very Australian.
They're similar, but in DAP the risk transfers at the named destination port whereas with FOB risk transfers once loaded at the origin port.
I don't see this supposed insult that got you worked up. The commenter stated that Trump supposedly has a department for this, but evidently no one knows what they are doing in said department, or indeed the administration as a whole on this issue.
