      You won’t be getting any money back. While you did ultimately pay since the companies that technically paid just raised their prices, that doesn’t matter. You didn’t technically pay any taxes, so you have no recourse to get it back. This has all just been a massive gift to companies.

        That’s not necessarily true. Many of us actually paid import tariffs directly. For instance I had to pay ~$300 in order to get a package I ordered to clear customs. Had I not paid it would have been returned to the manufacturer.

          Yuuup. I enjoy creating custom PCBs. It’s way easier to solder a PCB is you use a steel stencil. Learned the hard way that you don’t want to import steel right now. $70 directly to DHL on top of what I’d already paid the manufacturer!
