Small Business Against Tariffs

I agree. They know that thousand of companies have no choice but to import if their goods aren’t made here, so it’s a huge revenue generator for them. Frustrating for us all who didn’t vote for higher prices.

Yes, as I business owner who imports items not made here I have no choice but to import my items and pay the government if I want to stay in business. It’s a huge revenue generator for them because thousands of companies are like mine and have no choice.

He did pause the reciprocal tariffs on all but China. But currently the China tariffs, steel and aluminum tariffs and I believe the 10% on all imports are in effect. Don’t quote me on the others, but for sure China because my company writes those check!

Some tariffs have. Biggest being China. But yes, if these others start in August that is really bad news for consumers & US small businesses.

They make billions! This year will likely be record high for tariff revenue.

Businesses importing goods must pay the tariffs to be able to get their goods. Then it is up to said businesses on how much/when they raise their prices for consumers.

It’s devastating for us! I operate a wholesale company so my customers resale my items to make a living. We are all in shock. I have contacted my congress people but they either don’t answer or say everything is fine. It’s crazy to think your own government doesn’t care if your company survives.

Ships loaded with stuff coming to American businesses that many do not have another buying option for. Astounding how little he cares about American businesses and if they survive.

Any suggestions on what does?

Thank you for speaking up for us! Every day I email my senators asking them to help save my business from the government. It’s devastating & catastrophic.

And no one seems to care or say anything about the small businesses in this country who rely on imports that may lose everything. I wake up every morning & email my senators begging them to save my business from the government.

Not if the US suppliers also have to import. China suppliers will win big here as they can cut costs easier since they are the manufacturer and can ship direct to amazon warehouses themselves.

Yep! We just got a container priced today and I was shocked it was normal. But in time, I think they will definitely go up up up.

The tariffs are billed when the goods come into the country. And they won’t be released without full tariff payment upfront.

My small business went from paying 5k yearly in tariffs back in 2016 before his first around of tariffs, to paying well over 180k this year alone.

Where was this posted at please?

Yes!! More of this!!

Some have to add the increase now because they’ll need the capital to re-purchase for 20% higher in the future.

I can’t tell anymore if they are just betting on America being stupid or if they are really just this stupid themselves to believe any of this bs.

You got that right! I hate that it’s effecting so many outside the US. Half of us know the truth, the other half don’t see it. I think the only way they will is if it hurts them personally.

It’s wild that another country’s leader is the one telling us the truth about what we are signing up for when our own leader can’t even.

I’m in rural Ohio and it’s like we live in different realities than his supporters. It’s so frightening! I don’t think we will ever be able to unite if we can’t agree on facts/truth. & the excuses to normalize his behavior is just astonishing.

Agree!! I don’t even have Twitter!..But I would love to get to know some Dem politicians over here!

I live in a republican state..I say, GO FOR IT. They should get all they voted for.

My small business imports items not made here. I have been paying his 25% since 2018. Not one factory has moved here.

My small business imports items not made here. I have been paying his 25% tariffs since 2018 and none of the factories I purchase from have moved here. He’s literally looting from our businesses & consumers.

Love how he also mentioned Mexico in there. It’ll be interesting to see how all this plays out for our farmers again. Will they just pay them off again?

Tesla sued his administration last time over the tariffs… guess who’s getting an exemption this time?😒

They’ll make millions from his tax cuts. They don’t care about the tariffs because their customer will pay them.
