The implication being that those panels aren't really $2K when they cross the border. They're more like $500, at most. And that's what the tariff gets applied to. People think 100% tariff means the price doubles. But it shouldn't, especially on the various tchotchkes which are bought for a buck and sold in the US for $5. Note that "shouldn't" ≠ "won't". Greed is a thing.
- bamboozled 1y agoYou're still paying the tariff...nothing negates the fact that you're now paying $800 extra for the panels for no reason at all. I'm already buying direct anyway...I don't see why you're bringing greed into it. It sounds like you might be trying to help people feel positive about paying more in taxes? I can still pay the tariff and get great panels at an affordable price anyway...
