I can order 10,000 gizmos from China at $0.79

I pay the mfg $7900 plus the Ocean Freight (cheaper for them to book it than me)

When my container gets here, it's processed by CBP, sometimes they x-ray the container... sometimes open it for inspection...

When they decide to release the shipment they send me a bill.

It includes the Broker charges, warehousing, clean up fees, transport costs and yes...

Costs including Customs Fees and Tariffs.

So my shipment could easily be...

like 10-12k on a shipment that I paid 7900 for.

Absolutely brutal.
