$250 Duty on Core One ??  

RE: $250 Duty on Core One ??

Yep, new normal 15% tariff on imports from the EU so 225 plus fees for collection and customs clearance

RE: $250 Duty on Core One ??

Luckily the US administration has not determined the Core One to be made out of steel and aluminum yet... That would be an additional 50% tariff on the steel & aluminum portion of the product. 

RE: $250 Duty on Core One ??

Pretty confident the new 50% tariffs haven't kicked in yet, so be thankful it is only 15% plus normal customs handling fees. If you can log into the US Customs database, it has the answers, but presently its behind a fairly well locked credentials wall and registration is painful: first born promises and such. Yes, plan for a cost of living increase this year of of 15%, as high as 75% for most items, including food.

Some basic info is available here.

The only domestic producer I can think of is Lulzbot. But I have to think most of their parts are coming from overseas and will be tariff also? But you won’t get tear off on profits and assembly costs?

Sadly, that's legit - I got almost the same bill from FEDEX this week.  

If someone thought this through, there would be a tariff carve out for 3D printing: I mean, isn't the whole point to do more manufacturing in the US ? What am I doing with the printer if not manufacturing in the US ??

RE:

PrintedSolid offers the CoreOne for sale. I'm not sure if they've started assembling them in the US yet. But, the price is much more than from Prusa leading me to think they aren't yet as the price looks to be Prusa's price plus the tariff and shipping/handling. ($1399 currently for the fully assembled C1.) The benefit is you know the price up front and won't be surprised when it clears customs (because it's already cleared customs). As long as you are in the "lower 48" or DC, you get "free" shipping because it's over (way over) the $50 free shipping threshold so the shipping cost is already baked into the price.

Sadly, if you look at how all the tariff levels were decided on, there was obviously no one thinking during the entire process. Us Americans are f*cked, plain and simple.

RE: $250 Duty on Core One ??

Contest it. I got a $179 duty bill from FedEx on June. I emailed them this

Given the U.S. Court of International Trade recently struck down Trump's tariffs as illegal, I'm requesting an update on the status of this invoice and if there is still any duty owed, or if the duty owed has changed due to this.

They replied that they're investigating and will get back to me but it could take up to 3 months.  No word yet 

It helps that they delivered my Core One and sent the duty bill later

What amazes me is how little resistance is being shown, so far, by we American people.  It seems the giant is still sleeping.  Double-digit inflation will jar us awake but by then it will be too late.

RE: $250 Duty on Core One ??

What I read last night is the tariffs have been deemed illegal, but the judge is letting them stand while Trump goes to court.

RE: $250 Duty on Core One ??

Thank the Orange-one.  Besides the new duty (tariff) rate, the "de minimus" has been removed.  That allowed shipments valued less than $800 not be subject to the tariff.  (My CoreOne upgrade kit shipped just before the 'de minimus' was removed, so I paid no tariff.)

The effect is that your $100 Prusament order will cost you $15 in tariffs fees, plus the $25 charge (varies by carrier) the carrier will charge you for collecting the tariff.   That's why several international shippers have suspected shipments to the US.

Hold onto your receipts.  The US Court of Appeals has just ruled (July 29) most of the Orange-one's tariffs to be illegal.  (Setting tariffs is congresses job.)  If the Supreme court doesn't reverse that,  you will be due a refund.

I meant to say...

That's why several international shippers have suspended shipments to the US.

Tax breaks for corporations and the wealthy. Someone has got to pay for it. /s

Sort of. Section 201 of the Trade Act of 1974125 authorizes the President to impose tariffs or take certain other actions if the ITC (U.S. International Trade Commission) finds that a surge in imports is causing or threatening serious injury to a U.S. domestic industry (DI). However, before the President may take action under Section 201, the ITC must find based on its investigation that "an article is being imported into the United States in such increased quantities as to be a substantial cause of serious injury, or the threat thereof, to the domestic industry producing an article like or directly competitive with the imported article." I suspect that this latter provision is where the judicial finding against the tariffs is founded; there is no indication that Trump has complied with the requirement that before the President may take action under Section 201, the ITC must find based on its investigation that "an article is being imported into the United States in such increased quantities as to be a substantial cause of serious injury, or the threat thereof, to the domestic industry producing an article like or directly competitive with the imported article." The ITC is required to conduct Section 201 investigations following a petition by a party representing a DI, a request by the President or USTR, or a resolution of the House Ways and Means Committee or Senate Finance Committee. If no such request by the President was made, and the ITC did not conduct an investigation to determine whether imports are causing such injury or threat thereof, then the President does not have the authority under Section 201. Given the breadth of the tariffs imposed by Trump, I have grave doubts that it would have been possible for the ITC to have begun, much less completed, the required investigations.

The FedEx vs DHL bills may come down to when. Tariffs use to be 10%, but Trump raised them to 15% about August 29, and they'll be jumping to 50% around December -- unless SCOTUS agrees with the lower court that recently ruled the tariffs violate current law. But we know where SCOTUS has been lately - out sailing on some billionaires yacht. Doubt they' do anything to upset POTUS and his friends who's boat they are using for free.
