The Tariffs are Here.

A ham friend (actually another ham fr0m western Penna.) bought some boards from Chine (China) and paid XX dollars for a small lot of boards. He then gets an email that the Tariff will be 200%, thus making the total cost 3*XX. So, the $50 purchase is now $150 to the front door.
