THE TRUMP 2024 THREAD

options are

An importer facing tariffs has several options to manage the costs beyond simply passing them on to customers. Here are some alternatives:

1. Absorb the Cost: The importer can reduce their profit margins by absorbing part or all of the tariff cost. This might be viable if they have sufficient financial flexibility or want to maintain competitive pricing.
2. Negotiate with Suppliers: They could work with their overseas suppliers to lower the base cost of goods. Suppliers might agree to share the burden, especially if they risk losing business due to reduced demand.
3. Source from Alternative Countries: The importer could shift sourcing to countries not subject to the same tariffs. For example, if tariffs target a specific nation, they might find similar goods elsewhere with lower or no tariffs.
4. Optimize Supply Chain: Reducing logistics costs—like shipping, warehousing, or packaging—could offset tariff expenses. Streamlining operations or finding cheaper transport methods might help.
5. Use Tariff Exemptions or Refunds: Some governments offer exemptions, drawbacks, or refunds for tariffs under specific conditions (e.g., re-exporting goods or using them in manufacturing). The importer could explore these programs.
6. Improve Product Value: They could enhance the product (e.g., through branding, quality upgrades, or bundling) to justify a partial price increase to customers without fully passing on the tariff cost.
7. Stockpile Pre-Tariff Inventory: If tariffs are anticipated, importers might buy and store goods in advance, delaying the cost impact. This depends on storage capacity and product shelf life.
8. Shift to Domestic Suppliers: If feasible, sourcing locally avoids import tariffs entirely, though it might involve higher labor or production costs.

Point 6
Diversifying Imports and/or joining Buying Groups has been exercised since the dawn of Import Tariff management.
But to him it’s only about

Not very sharp.

And where does the fee go when it's paid by the importer?

So Toyota builds one hundred thousand cars in Japan for the U.S. market. To import them into the U.S. Toyota has to pay a large tariff on each vehicle. Toyota now has two choices, sell the vehicle at a much higher price to recoup the tariff, or eat the cost of the tariff and lose money. And Toyota knows that either way it will lose money because the consumer will likely choose a much cheaper vehicle. That's the reality of tariffs. The fee only hits the consumer who decides he must have a Toyota no matter what.

If you wanted to lower the end-user costs, who would you cut out?

The pathetic liberals whining about tariffs and end/user costs are TDS driven and just plain stupid.

If you start with pretty much most of Nancy Pelosi's.

Did Pelosi make trades last week?

 

[Sportello]

you cant just make this corruption dissapear simply by trying to deny it happened . show your proof.

Mr. Tieguy, I have explained to you multiple times why green card holders are given Social Security numbers. Look it up for yourself if you don’t believe me.

 

[Sportello]

So you approve of what Trump is doing since he is only following Biden. Now if we can get @Next Day Err to get on board with us we will be getting somewhere. Welcome aboard!

I approve of importing eggs to reduce the price. It seems like further import Maloney increase the price due to tariffs.

Where do import taxes go after they’re paid by the importer?

LOL….
CBP. Have you heard of them?

Are you intentionally acting like this?

Maybe to the U.S. Treasury? Like taxes do?

Nope.

Nope.

You got to remember @Next Day Err has the liberal mindset that he is better than, smarter than you and he knows what’s best for you. He has that elitist attitude

 

[Next Day Err]

Nope.

The tariffs don’t end up at Treasury?

 

[Next Day Err]

The answer: tariffs end up at Treasury after CBP collects.

Glad I could help.

Tariffs are taxes.
