Do I understand this correctly that if I have a 1kg product that costs $1000... the US is trying to charge me a $1000 tariff on at most $10 [1] worth of metal?

[1] Copper is the most expensive of those metals at roughly $10/kg

I wonder if you could weigh the FR4 material, weigh the final result, and subtract them to get the weight of everything else? It would be better than being taxed on the entire weight.
