...importers must declare the exact amount of steel, copper, and aluminum in products, with a 100% tariff applied to these materials

I ordered a lock and some keys valued at about $400, and paid an extra $400 in duties because of this. It's insane.

Um, yes! Who do you think was going to pay it?

The Trump tariffs are the biggest tax increase in the lower and middle classes ever.
