Welcome to c/news! Please read the Hexbear Code of Conduct and remember... we're all comrades here.
Rules:
-- PLEASE KEEP POST TITLES INFORMATIVE --
-- Overly editorialized titles, particularly if they link to opinion pieces, may get your post removed. --
-- All posts must include a link to their source. Screenshots are fine IF you include the link in the post body. --
-- If you are citing a twitter post as news please include not just the twitter.com in your links but also nitter.net (or another Nitter instance). There is also a Firefox extension that can redirect Twitter links to a Nitter instance: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/libredirect/ or archive them as you would any other reactionary source using e.g. https://archive.today . Twitter screenshots still need to be sourced or they will be removed --
-- Mass tagging comm moderators across multiple posts like a broken markov chain bot will result in a comm ban--
-- Repeated consecutive posting of reactionary sources, fake news, misleading / outdated news, false alarms over ghoul deaths, and/or shitposts will result in a comm ban.--
-- Neglecting to use content warnings or NSFW when dealing with disturbing content will be removed until in compliance. Users who are consecutively reported due to failing to use content warnings or NSFW tags when commenting on or posting disturbing content will result in the user being banned. --
-- Using April 1st as an excuse to post fake headlines, like the resurrection of Kissinger while he is still fortunately dead, will result in the poster being thrown in the gamer gulag and be sentenced to play and beat trashy mobile games like 'Raid: Shadow Legends' in order to be rehabilitated back into general society. --

I just don't even understand the logistics of how these will be collected/enforced.
I would have assumed this would take like a month to implement with guidance on how to collect, what party is expected to collect and when/how to remit, how to declare, etc.
I don't know shit about fuck when it comes to international whatever, but if I did cross border business, I would be scrambling for answers in a panic to be able to provide information to clients.
I don't have my own business or whatever, but I used to manage some and it is pretty crucial to be able to give straight answers to questions when clients/customers have them.
I'm wondering just how much routine critical shit we take for granted moves through or is otherwise supported by Mexico/Canada supply chains that are going to bottleneck. like medications, basic ingredients (rice, beans, tomatoes, etc), materials, energy services. I mean, fuck me, the easy Mex/Can relationship grants US buyers a ton of flexibility in seasonal agricultural products and it is currently the dead of winter.
legit thought this was just a bunch of blustery BS and did not believe they'd actually pull the trigger.so rapidly.
any time something crosses the border it already has paperwork submitted with the goods on the truck, the value, the country of origin, and classification (what kind of good it is) to determine the tax and duty due to be paid by the importing company. all they have to do is adjust the tariff rates in the computer system, so it will be collected as soon as these go into effect on Tuesday
Yup. It's already a part of the process. Nothing extra to add except start collecting on the new rates.
