Nobody being able to figure it out is the entire point.
From TFA: "U.S. customs is demanding a Certificate of Analysis (which could cost thousands of dollars and to determine what exact amount of Aluminum, Copper and Steel are in the product), otherwise they assume the entire PCB consists of copper, aluminum, and steel, and charge a 100% tariff on the whole product. "
They WANT you to pay the full 100% in taxes.
- phendrenad2 1y agoNah, this is how government bureaucracy works (especially Trumpian bureaucracy). They rush to implement some policy, and don't think of all the various edge cases and loopholes. That's how we got Section 174 (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=44180533 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=44180533). And look at how long it took for that to be repealed.
