Doge (China to USA) Tariff

From the Doge site (you click on the USA flag under Taxes and Tarrifs):

"Most of you probably heard about the “trade war” between USA and China. Because China has higher taxes than USA on many products (policy decided in 2000 at the time China entered WTO) the US President Donald Trump decided to create step by step since 2018, some TARIFFS especially on all products imported from China, that are from 10% to 25%, instead Tariffs from 2% to 5% previously to the trade war.

Unfortunately, our DOGE products are belonging to the TARIFFS codes of products that are taxed at 25%. Please note that any other audio product of any other brand would face the same rate of taxes.

WHO PAY THE TARIFFS ?

Please note that all our sales are under the Incoterm CIF (Cost Insurance Freight) but do not include the import duties or local taxes, that are always paid by the importer (you) and collected with a simplified process by the Carrier (DHL)."

Ah, I missed the "clicking on the American flag" detail. That would have saved me from googling the US tariffs section and scrolling thru all the exceptions (which were mainly unfinished goods). 

I'd still check with US Customs and asks them to check to see if the tariffs for what you want ever came down in 2020 since Doge mentions the tariffs at their inception in 2018 and nothing else since. It couldn't hurt.

All the best,
Nonoise

I buy in USA ONLY.

God bless my former Prez.
