I received by boards and parts for the vending machine project today. I was pleasantly surprised to say the least.
On a $185 assembly order from JLC, delivered by DHL, no tarrif or additional fees were charged.
On a $68 parts order from Tayda Electronics (Thailand), delivered by DHL, no tarrif or additional fees were charged.
On a $16 + tax and shipping from Avnet, a ~$10 "tarrif recovery fee" was charged, later reduced to ~$3. This was for ST Micro triacs, which had to be in the US already, as they shipped the next day.
On a Digikey order, two tarrifs were charged:
10% on TDK capacitors
A little less than 10% on $2 of diodes.
Again, both of these parts had to be in the US as they shipped the next day.
So today at least, the only tarrifs charged were by US companies in anticipation of paying larger tarrifs.
The orange cheeto is on the news again, blabbering about tarrrifs being too high (the tarrifs he imposed with a Sharpie scribbled signature) so who knows what's to come.
Before anyone criticizes my comments, please understand that tarrifs are paid by consumers, NOT BY SUPPLIERS. If you can't understand that, there is no need to comment.
