> importers must declare the exact amount of steel, copper, and aluminum in products, with a 100% tariff applied to these materials. This makes little sense—PCBs, for instance, contain copper traces, but the quantity is nearly impossible to estimate.

Wow this administration is f**ing batshit insane. I thought the tariffs would be on raw metals, not anything at all that happens to contain them.

The importer is supposed to "make a deal" with the administration, ie, bribe them to obtain an exemption.

Careful where you get that gold from. The administration recently announced a 40% tariff on refined gold imported from Switzerland.

We're going to just seize the foreign gold stored in the US. Finders keepers.
