I got a bunch of stuff from the UK for my Aprilia Cup this winter. Over the past few years, I've bought bike stuff from Italy, the UK, Greece, Germany, and the Netherlands. That's life owning a bike that was never imported. It had become quite convenient.

I ordered a windscreen through Amazon for the Cup bike on April 22 (because I am dumb). I'm really curious what's going to happen... It's still in China AFAICT It's in Shanghai right now. it was $75, so duty would be $107. No idea how Amazon is handling this stuff. The price has gone up $13 since I ordered. That's not going to do it.

The disinformation machine is at it again. Let's summarize this graphic (assuming values are correct)

The US used to charge a markup of 3.4% on UK goods but it's now raised to 10%
The UK used to charge a markup of 5.1% on US goods but it's now lowered to 1.8%

US businesses could possibly sell more products in the UK as our products will have less tariff tax imposed on them by the UK. (Message: Get rich, CEOs and corporations!)

It means that US citizens will not be able to afford as many products from the UK because the tariff tax the US decided to put on UK goods increased.

Message: Get fucked, US citizens!
