Tariffs...what to make of them.

The Trials company I order from is in the UK so we take a bit of a beating already because the dollar is weak. My co-worker is going back to visit his parents over the holidays so I’m gonna see if I can ship it there and he can bring it back on the plane.

Well... technically, the tariff will still need to be paid if he declares it when returning to the US... granted... he "might" be able to bring it in as a used item and possibly declare it at a lower value... but definitely getting into a grey area here. Probably depends on how strict about this sort of thing the Customs agents are at the airport. If your co-worker does everything above-board, he may get hit with a sizeable duty fee.

Yeah. I found a different loophole and ordered a frameset from a person instead of a company. I don't know if there's a value associated with that so we'll find out what happens.

The last printer I bought at my shop was only purchased because it was less expensive to buy a printer with the cartridges than just the cartridges I needed.

My wife's company will buy printer consumables no problem but a printer has to be owned by the company IT, annoyingly complicated. We work remote.

I had my boss order me a crappy $99 printer off Amazon. Her company easily spent thousands on name brand toner and $150 replacement drums until it died for good.

This is basic corporate logic.
 
Here is even faux news telling you the deal on the boats we are blowing up in the Caribbean....there is no fentanyl coming from Venezuela....all of this is nothing more than an effort at removing Maduro....They did not send an entire carrier strike group to the Caribbean, plus 11 other surface vessels to blow up fishing boats.

As was already known by anyone with a brain.... the chemicals required to make fentanyl are coming from China, to mexico, then being brought into the US.
