Duane 3NE 2NR wrote:Donald Trump unveiled a sweeping new tariffs regime during his "Liberation Day" press conference.
The announcement includes reciprocal tariffs on all foreign nations, a 25% tariff on all automobiles manufactured outside the U.S., and a blanket 10% tariff on all imported goods.
In simple terms, prices are about to increase. From groceries and lumber to toys, clothing, and particularly cars, almost every imported product will be affected. It's still uncertain whether any countries or sectors will be exempt. Trump indicated that the new tariffs will come into effect at midnight tonight.
Here is a list of many reciprocal tariff rates:
- 25% tariff on South Korea
- 36% tariff on Thailand
- 31% tariff on Switzerland
- 49% tariff on Cambodia
- 10% tariff on Brazil
- 20% tariff on European Union
- 34% tariff on China
- 46% tariff on Vietnam
- 26% tariff on India
- 24% tariff on Japan
- 10% tariff on United Kingdom

that's not how a tariff works
what will cause the price of skybox products to go up in T&T is that there is a tariff to be paid by Amazon for example when they import items into the US that we eventually buy, so the item on Amazon will go up and so we will eventually pay more for it.
Look at this video for an explanation

That allowed shein, temu and all those Chinese brands to escape paying importation taxes into the US.

US importers pay the tariffs, not T&T importers
A US 10% tariff on T&T means that any products the US imports from T&T will be charged 10% extra to be paid for by the US importer. So all the methanol, natural gas and urea that T&T exports to the US will now cost the US more - T&T does not pay the tariff, the US does - the idea is to force US production of those products giving US companies more sales rather than buying it cheaper from T&T or elsewhere.

unless the skybox company has a bonded warehouse to ensure the goods doesn’t leave the premises and go onto us soil

Duane, this is a global tariff at varying rates. The US producer / consumer pays initially but any goods for export from the USA which contains imported components of any kind will cost more. So if you buy a laptop from the USA that is essentially made in China - guess what?
And who is to say that made in USA will eventually be cheaper?
