You believe the CNN hype, consumers will pay the tariffs. You have been boondoggled by the spin. Some may be paying higher prices but the most Chinese companies are forced to drop their prices in order to export into this market, some are splitting the additional cost, most are looking for alternative supply. Thousands of temporary solutions are being found, some products just are not being imported, others placed huge orders with China providing big discounts to sell out their inventories. Few are able to pass the duty along to consumers. 25% is creating a lot of competition in the marketplace. It's far from business as usual. The overall effect will not be clear for months to come. No one, let alone CNN or the NYT's, can say with certainty exactly what is occurring and why.
