Since the “de minimus” exemption expired on May 2, a look
at their websites show online fast fashion retailers Temu and Shein are
approaching the addition duties different. Temu has apparently moved a lot of
product to stateside warehouses and shows these “local” items, that avoid the
tariff, first when a customer searches on the side. Shein, meanwhile,
apparently has little to no US presence and has chosen to include the tariffs
in its displayed costs, not breaking them out for consumers as Amazon
had considered doing.
Starting to see some effects from tariffs, especially in supplies. Arriving restocks of Ultra Pro Standard 2.5” x3.5” Soft Sleeves, commonly referred to as “penny sleeves”, will now cost $1.22 per pack, quite a jump from the previous price of 54 to 57 cents a pack, a price increase of about 125%, certainly rendering the penny sleeve designation as moot. Now the question is: raise the price on supplies to a figure whereby the store makes its standard margin, or add the tariff amount to the current retail price and treat it as a tax?

Although claims have been made that container ships have
stopped unloading at ports on the West Coast, including one widely shared photo
stating ships have stopped unloading at the Port of Seattle, such claims are,
shall we say, overblown to say the least. For the first quarter, the number of
ships unloading at the Port are actually
slightly up in numbers from 2024 for the first quarter, although in some
cases, the amount of freight unloaded can run up to 30% less than expected. Of
course, given the two to four weeks it takes for a freighter to cross the
Pacific from China, those ships arriving now may have left pre-tariff and we
may see a significant drop in shipments arriving if more companies take their
cue from The Op and Cephalofair Games and send shipments back to their point of
origin (See “The
OP May Send Fifteen Containers of Games Back to China”). If tariffs do not
get reverted soon, the holiday season, which accounts for some 40% of retail
sales and accounts for the majority of profits for the toy and game industry
will see
a significant drop in sales and lots of empty spaces on the shelf.
