The knitting and crochet subs are going nuts because they buy most of their yarn from Europe. Pretty much all the suppliers have stopped shipping to America for orders under $800. America doesn’t really have a yarn manufacturing industry.
I run a small Etsy store. 80% of my business is from the US. Got an email saying that I can’t buy postage from Etsy to the US any more (temporarily), for me, this was often the cheaper option, and tariffs will be charged on everything, no matter the value, on items going to the US.
So all my prices for the US are gonna have to go up, probably by a fair bit.
Thanks President Dump.
Honestly, the reduction in the De Minimis rule for the US is reasonable
The $800 limit was pretty crazy, and doing damage to US companies, especially when it came to Chinese competitors
The way Trump has gone about it, of course is daft and causing all sorts of issues
What the article doesn’t say is that the new customs fees are 15% plus carrier fees for private carriers (e.g. FedEx, DHL etc), and a whopping 80 USD flat fee for national postal carriers (i.e. Royal Mail) for the first six months before it drops to the same 15% as the private carriers.
Among the companies I’ve seen saying they’ve halted shipping to the US are:
* Paine Free Crafts, a cross stitch company that does large charts and kits of properly licensed artworks
* Anne Stokes, a Yorkshire-based fantasy artist who sells merchandise based on her artwork on Etsy
* PastryMade, a Polish company that makes embossed rolling pins, a lot of their employees are Ukrainian refugees
* Sabaton, the merch store for a Swedish metal band with a large US following
This is an absolute clusterfuck. UPS have also done the same. No one really knows what is going to happen or what to do. This is one of Trumps bright ideas where he doesn’t actually know what a mess it’s going to cause because it’s completely ridiculous. I’ve been sat with my UPS rep on the phone today, discussing what the plans are currently and the general opinion is this will all get dropped within days once the shit hits the fan.
