Electronics components vendors have recently implemented this. There is a notice next to some parts that they will be subject to tariff charges. When you go to checkout there is an additional cost line with those charges.

I recently had to buy some transformers, and had no other choice but to get bent over. The price more than doubled at checkout.



Sounds like they're using the excuse of the tariffs to overcharge. They would pay the tariffs on their wholesale costs when they import. If they're then passing the same tariff % to the customer at their retail price then they're ripping you off.


Tariffs are 124%
