tariffs start this weekend

In early 2020, economywide inflation hovered around the Federal Reserve’s long-run target of 2 percent. When the pandemic began in 2020, inflation initially fell as many people reduced their social interactions and lessened their consumption of in-person services.

Those tariffs had a lower impact since imports decreased

With the end of the 'de minimus', it's going to be interesting to see customers of Temu/Shein learn how tariffs really work.

Chardonnay Love, an artist from Pennsylvania, says she received a text message from DHL on Tuesday explaining that she needed to pay $26.20 in import duties to get a Shein order that already cost her $267.14. The package was shipped from Guangzhou, China, and arrived at a customs office in Cincinnati on Tuesday, according to DHL tracking records she shared with WIRED. They show Love’s order was put on hold for several hours, during which she received the notice asking her to pay the import duties. DHL also noted the package would be returned in five days if she declined to do so.
