Doge (China to USA) Tariff

Life is short. Shorter than you think.

At this stage, my happiness has more value than a mental wrestling match, in a similar instance, I would have had when younger.

Depends on what you regard as the "good fight" I suppose.

We are always subject to be led by the nose by something or other.

Food, energy and shelter prices make me want to venture to the wood with bow and arrow. But it gets cold at night there.

Wise words.

As I recall, several forum members bought the Doge7 and I don’t recall anyone ever mentioning an extra duty on delivery. 

Maybe it all depends on the carrier and DHL is charging the tariff to cover themselves. That would explain why Doge states it on their site. So, yes, let's thank TFG for adding costs that the consumer has to pay (which is exactly how tariffs work) and then lie about balancing the budget with all those billions we never got from China. But if you say enough times, fools will fall for it.

All the best,

I paid duty on the Doge Clarity 8 tube preamp I bought. Never was asked to pay duty on any Denafrips items. But here is the additional problem with paying duty for out of the country items. States like IL which need money audit duty records and then hit up IL residents for use tax (state sales tax) on those items. So it’s a double hit. No more Doge items for me.
