Thank fuck the shitty tariffs are going to end in October. I'm not entirely sure if it includes the de minimis exemption, but at least they're reviewing all the tariffs from what I've understood (except the steel ones).

Fingers crossed but he's made sure to fill the Supreme with his puppets but let's hope they have brains in their heads. It's stupid I feel like I know more about the US legal and law system than my own shite island
I really hope so. I don't know much about the legal system but I sure learned some recently.
Thanks for sharing about this
No problem!
Are you sure? I hope you’re right but so far the US Court of Appeals has ruled the tariffs illegal, but the 🍊 🤡 is planning to fight the ruling 😡🤬
Yeah forgot to clarify it's just ruled as illegal for now. I just hope it will be done and we're over with the tariffs.
On behalf of most of the sane world, I’ll cross my fingers. My biggest fear is that tin-pot dictators always follow the same MO. If the law opposes them, they change the law…
Yup, but what can we do anyway, if he changes the law then so be it. He'll ruin his country and people.
You are right, of course, but I don’t think he cares
If they end the de minimis one, I'll be really relieved and not contemplating how to restart my business or what to do else in my life because I'm so tired lol. Really hoping that will be the case for all business owners as well. It's been so rough recently, even more for artists.
i've been shaking like a wet chihuahua for all the parcels i sent that got caught in the bottleneck and are in limbo Right Now i hope the people who bought them wont be charged anyway cause it's like the literal twilight zone over there currently
Same, I saw some of my parcels are still stuck too and I'm really stressed. I don't know what I can do 😞
it's a sticky situation 🫠 i am opting to take the L on my part and offering ppl to pay the USPS fees if they occur, but i am also in a very privileged situation with some savings i can use, and a partner who supports us financially. having a decision made for when things go south eases my anxiety.
Yeah I'm thinking of the same for a ups or DHL option. I'm lucky to have a part-time job too and family support. Still, I hope things will clear up at least a little bit because it's really chaos now.

I should clarify it's just ruled as illegal and if the orange man doesn't win the appeal, it will be deemed illegal and the tariffs will be lifted.
I am conscient that the orange man will do everything to still maintain those tarriff but I just want to hope a bit y'a know. I'll still think other ways to do my business since nothing is safe at this point, but man, let me hope a bit at least.
I'm honestly very cautious to get my hopes up. He's not exactly known to follow court orders 🥲
Ho I know, but I just want a little bit of hope, it's the only thing I have for now so I don't despair so much
This so much 🥲
It's good to see that they are doing something, omg. It has been so rough for artists and small businesses this year, let's hope for the best
Even if de minimis changes, hopefully it'll be marginal since it won't be subject to the obscenely high tarrifs, right? Just regular small time duties?
I, huh maybe? The insane tariffs for the de minimis are just here for six months and then it will be kinda "normal" from what I remember.
Oni, oh my god, I literally got up today, body completely sluggish, because I'm just so devastated. Just wrote another email to another disappointed customer, that I can't do anything for them. If this was real and if it was going to change... ;; Is it too much to hope? That would be such a relief!
It's been ruled as illegal for now so the orange man can still appeal in october but I just hope it won't work for him. We can't do much for now except maybe still looking some solutions in case it doesn't work, but I'm hopeful 🙏
Absolutely. Yeah. I mean, even a hint of hope is better than just feeling desperate. But reading about how many of the packages come through the borders there in just one day, I can't imagine for this to work so suddenly (even if for some crazy reason I wanted this to work). So let us hope indeed! 🙏
Sigh, sorry, for the overly emotional comment. Now I've sipped some of my coffee and read both the articles on bbc in peace. Fingers crossed it works out so we can maybe continue our work. For a bit.
It's ok, I literally just woke up and should have been more cautious with my words. Sorry if I got your hopes up, but I understand your situation since it's the same for me. And yep, fingers crossed.
