Given how horrific the impact of the tariffs could be on the O-rings, an 8% surcharge to $22.99 is not terrible.
I hate it, but it's not something I can control. I'm glad I don't collect Classified.

From what I understand, tariffs are determined by country of origin. Paperwork not matching product upon inspection is also problematic.

We may see some shuffling of supply chain stuff where they send toys somewhere else for packaging.

Apparently some Chinese based companies were manufacturing products in Vietnam to get around tariffs, but they started ramping up tariffs on Vietnam in response.

That's the thing that annoys me. Like I see stores online jacking up prices on the next wave of TVC...which comes out tomorrow on Amazon. Those things were in port MONTHS ago. Zero excuse for them to be $18.99.

They could be trying to spread out the blow instead of having to raise upcoming product to a point they know they can't move them.

I agree with you. It would be foolish to believe that everyone on this side of the pond is playing it honest. I would venture to guess that most are taking advantage and jacking prices up even when they are not applicable, all under the excuse of tariffs. Until there is some retroactive auditing done, many will get away with making bank by fleecing us with bullshit.
