Last of my orders with the Chinese for awhile
As I see it : Chinese dealers/manufacturers may raise prices for a tariff they are not obligated to pay . The same Chinese dealers who will not combine shipping expense.on E-Bay orders. Same vendors and dealers who upgraded my orders to “shipped” the day of the Postal Suspension because they were told in advance of the 2/5 suspension. Very nice ahh! US Customs does not have a mechanism to collect the 10 cents on the dollar purchase on thousands of parcels on this side of the Pacific and probably will not have something in place for months/years to come. They will have to collect it from the buyer upon entry.. Couple this with possible Chinese price increase I maybe paying the tariff twice Hmm. Stevens International will raise their prices because they work with legitimate import/export brokers therefore Squadron’s Chinese products will increase in price. My choice if I want the model kit or not So until the dust settles, Chinese is off the menu.  Previous Message The Trump administration has announced the end of de minimis taxation exemptions for goods from China. This means that whatever comes into this country, no matter how small in value, will be subject to customs duties. So prepare to pay more for your model kits and any other items made in China.
