Got an email from restoration design -
To all our valued customers, President Trump has signed an executive order imposing a duty of 25% on all parts produced outside of North America. This will include all parts produced in Europe, China and Taiwan. This order does not affect Canadian parts at this time. If you anticipate needing parts, call us or look at our website to determine which parts this executive order will affect. To avoid the 25% duty rate, parts will need to cross into the USA prior to March 23rd, 2018, when the executive order will take effect. |

Sometimes I have trouble with the big words and have to sound them out because I went to a State university.
But when I read the email it seem clear that it never implied "all" parts were going up 25%. But as many have stated not all of the parts carried by RD are produced in north America. Now as with all things written, there are better ways to phrase it that you just don't see until the second after you hit send. Of course avoiding politics, but the reality is that the real impacts of what will happen is not completely know at this point. In the end it will be much more complex that a 25% change in price. |
