12. I have seen several dozen vids of people getting surprise Tariff bills after their package is delivered.

Mostly people buying stuff from Temu or similar where the item is shipped from China or other overseas source.

Smaller orders used to be exempted, but not under Trump

Often the tariff charges are greater than what they paid for the item.

Sometimes they did not even know the seller was shipping from overseas. SURPRISE.
