Buying used from Canada

It's completely unpredictable. I lived in Washington State and bought a pair of ProAc speakers, made in England, from an individual in British Columbia, Canada. Drove up to fetch them and spent close to an hour at the border with a pair of confused customs agents. They finally arrived at what seemed like a completely arbitrary tariff fee of about $200 based on the fact that they were manufactured in England. I paid it and fled south.

I received a parts order several days ago from Hifi Collective in England, and there were no tariff or customs charges, just the FedEx shipping charge.  That was the third order from Hifi Collective in the last two months and there were no tariff or customs charges on any of them.  I have no idea why.

Canada has had sky high tariffs on American goods for decades, some as high as 250%. Trump is trying to level the playing field. Canada currently has an imbalance of trade with us of about $50 billion. Trump would like them to get that down to around $30 billion.

In the past, even Nancy Pelosi and Chuck Schummer agreed we needed more reciprocal tariffs. Other nations of the EU, the UK, Japan, Vietnam, South Korea and of course communist China, have had similarly high tariffs on us.

These tariffs have put American workers at a disadvantage all these years.

That's fiction. Propaganda, really.

Hmm  Foxnews?
