NBC lives on its TDS. In this story, if you read only the first few grafs, Teh Tariffs Are Horrible!!
But if you read on........well.........
The bills are sudden and jarring: $1,400 for a computer part from Germany, $620 for an aluminum case from Sweden and $1,041 for handbags from Spain.
Some U.S. shoppers say they are being hit with surprise charges from international shipping carriers as the exemption on import duties for items under $800 expires as a part of President Donald Trump’s tariff push.
See?? Trump Screws Computer Users!!!
FIVE grafs later:
... Late Friday, a representative for DHL told Andrews that the initial charge was indeed incorrect: The tariff bill should have only been for about $110. But it was too late: Andrews had already refused shipment to avoid paying the charge. Soon after learning about the corrected charge, he realized DHL had already begun sending the item back to Germany....
Now you know the rest of the story.
