Here’s what really bothers me about this narrative. It’s not accurate. People keep throwing out numbers like 145%, 30% etc and it’s wrong. Here’s the true tariffs for importing something from China today, including the HTSUS codes.
9903.88.01/25%
9903.01.24/20%
9903.01.63/125%
9903.88.01 was enacted on July 6, 2018. There has never been any talk of this going away.
This is a 170% tariff. Not 145% tariff.
So even if they drop the last two tariffs of 145% down to 30%. It’s still a 55% tariff on goods coming from China. Why has literally nobody in the media talked about this or anyone clarified these numbers in any public way?

Pisses me off. 55% is a huge tariff.
