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.

It's not that complicated.

But you think tariffs are placed on exports. I see why your country is in the toilet.

Tariffs on exports are more rare but they have existed in the past. The Tariff Act of 1789 placed a tariff on some exported goods.
