“Tariffs Just Got Real”: 30 Blood-Boiling Receipts As USA Is Paying For Their Votes
It's hard to keep up with the state of tariffs under the current US administration. They target countries that supply a wide variety of goods to American consumers, including cars, electronics, groceries, liquors, lumber, and the list goes on.
There has been a lot of debate over how these on-again, off-again measures will ultimately affect the average citizen, and lately, people have begun to notice the bottom line. To help each other gain a better understanding of the true situation, they have also started sharing pictures of their new receipts, and they paint a vivid picture of the changing economic landscape.

I was told China would pay for these tariffs…

As a guitar player, I am well aware of this. I am sure "China will pay the tariff". I mean, if not, Trump would have lied. And he never did that before. Right?

You are misinformed about who collects the tarriffs. Since it is an import tariff the Canadian retailer that you are buying from has no involvement in the collection of the tariff. As an individual retail purchaser =you= are the importer and are responsible for paying the tariff. UPS as the transport agent may pay the tariff at the point of entry and then collect that from you after the fact as a service to you. I won't make a comment about the payment due, though -- UPS might have any number of additional surcharges for handling the tariff that they are also adding to that amount.

As the exporting country doesn’t pay the tariff, it is really only US citizens being affected.

I ordered an instrument made in Poland to be shipped to the US. (~2k usd) I thought there might be some fee, but $640 seems excessive. What exactly are these gov fees and ups brokerage paying for? Is that tariffs?

Goes into consolidated revenue to be used at the discretion of the tariff instigator. I think there are a lot of people who didn’t Google what a tariff was beforehand.

Not allowed to show it as it makes those that implemented it look bad. Amazon tried to be transparent with tariffs and was told not to do it.

Insane Hy-Vee prices (+ tariffs)
Gingersnap In Iowa 1 year ago
Hy-Vee is one of the most expensive grocery store chain in the Midwest region of the United States. I picked up a RX on Monday and grabbed a few things and cost me $70.00.

Are "import charges" the same thing as tariffs? I know that everything is up in the air right now, but I'm asking in case anyone knows and has an answer. I'm want to order something on AliBaba and there are import charges. Are these the tariffs? Or am I going to have to pay more upon delivery on top of these import charges?

Temu and Shein can rot in hell, they sell subpar products for cheap and don't care that they are full of toxins.

Looking over receipts and noticed I was charged a 6.25% tariff at Fabletics. First time I have seen this on a receipt. Did a little research and found all Fabletics products are from China. I realize companies build in extra fees such as tariffs in their product pricing. I am not sure if I like knowing what the tariff fee is upfront or having it built into the overall price.

A tariff? On a shipping service? What is imported at a sh.... ah wait, you mean an ICE-surcharge.

It seems as though chickens are now priced higher than beef. I wonder if the magats are getting their remorse yet, but here we go.

This is also because the 3 largest chicken producers had k**l their entire flock because of the bird flu. It’s also responsible for the egg prices

Beware buying from formulamod store. Extreme tariff overcharging. I ordered a bykski tk220 pump res combo last week for about $160 before the proposed tariffs off aliexpress. I received a message asking for an extra 11 cents. Today I get a message saying they want an extra $99.75 to cover tariffs. I promptly canceled my order and reported them to aliexpress. I went and found the same item and added it to my cart. It shows $161 for checkout with no mention of a tariff surcharge. They will probably hit you up after purchase like they did to me. Buyer beware. I've attached screenshots of their prices and the message I received after my order asking for $99.75. That is way more than the clown's tariffs

The US may be one of the largest consumer marketplaces on earth, but the rest of the world's combined population is considerably greater than the US population. The orange one is stupid if he actually believes the rest of us can't survive without the US. He's simply driving more nations towards the, surprisingly, now free market, of China.

Some of us are already pretty aware of that. Of course we're the ones who didn't vote for the orange cre.tin.

If he believes that tariffs are paid by the exporting country then he’s stupid, if you believe him when he repeats that then you are stupid, if he believes that tariffs will help move production into the U.S. then he’s stupid, likewise if you believe him when he says that you’re stupid, if he thinks he’s playing a complex game that only his genius can understand he’s stupid…. Are you detecting a theme here?

It will, sadly bullies often get what they want. Some companies have switched, or accelerated switching to the US.
