Re Tariffs now that US china agree to slash tariffs, does that mean King Country prices and others with Tariffs added will be reduced as they have now arrived in the US ??

Doubt it. Try getting money back from any govt. Good luck haha

Looks like tariffs on China goods will be reduced to 30% for 90 days. Worse, the “de minimis” rule will still apply, so small direct orders will still have the extra cost.

Dealers will need to reply on how they will handle this. The 145% killed any trade, but 30% is too high to easily absorb without concessions. Good that business will resume.

Taking away the "de minimis" rule from the little guys (us) is ridiculous. I am expecting that to stay regardless of the outcome.

You guys are still getting stiffed on this, do genuinely feel sorry for fellow collectors. 90 days is still awful as the tariffs are still significantly higher than 2024, means way higher prices still for that period, as for the hobby worldwide this has dire implications as the USA is well over half of the world market. Hoping your dealers and the manufacturers can ride it out, none of the owners of the main manufacturers are spring chickens anymore and i hope this does not mean they think enough is enough and just pack in.

On the upside saw a report that the Trump family are making around $1 Billion a month through crypto, coins, etc and he is getting a free plane...............

Let’s try to keep politics off the forum as it will ultimately lead to a closure. @Julie has been quite clear about this.

Looks like us Europeans will be getting figures cheaper than the U.S.

I am not aware that K&C raised any of our prices… Obviously many of our US Dealers had to try and cover at least part of the huge increase in their costs however the sooner agreement is reached the better for all concerned.

Done. No More Tariff threads.
I will delete and suspend the origin poster going forward.

This is not a joke. These affect small businesses and obviously myself.
Consumers cannot expect businesses to stay in business by selling items for less that its costs to bring items into their stores.
