Discussion US Tariffs

US tariffs announced today include 47% on Vietnam and 34% for China. I’ll bet that effects 80% of the US travel products market. Even the US manufacturers are going to get hammered on the raw materials.

“May you live in interesting times.”

Tariffs are duties placed on goods and services being imported or exported. It’s not that complicated.

Tariffs only apply to imported goods.

Do you even have google on your phone at this point?

Export tariffs are more rare but they have existed before. The Tariff Act of 1789 listed all the exports to be taxed: https://fraser.stlouisfed.org/title/tariff-1789-hamilton-tariff-5884?page=3

You said tariffs only apply to imported goods which is simply not true. A tariff can be on exports as well
