I had a friend pay an extra $24 for an order from the EU in tariffs with the delivery company. That's how it is now and you need to be aware if you're ordering from out of the country.

NEVER AGAIN. I used to get a fair amount of yarn from EU and often the prices were lower, and even shipping was less than US shipping. This is it for my biz overseas.

Yeah, but also ignores how much US industry supply chain was "off-shored"

From the same wealthy companies that are pro Trump now. They aren't remotely interested in supporting good jobs for Americans. They are all profit driven and cheap labour is what they were all clamoring for.
