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.
