The worst part of these tariffs is the uncertainty. We deal in around 5 shipments a month from Asia ( not China) and had all our shipments held up at customs for more than a week. And then customs charged us 100% of merchandise fees as storage fees plus additional customs and duties.

The main problem is that there is no alterative to US for retail. EU is mired with VAT/GST and bureaucracy
