Doge (China to USA) Tariff

I really wanted to make a move to a Doge 7 Mk2 tube DAC. But the policy to charge a 25-percent import tax because of a multi year political game means I'll be looking for something else. The dollar amount comes to an extra $500 give or take. Nope, won't support a bloated tariff. Plus, add about $275 for international shipping and there is just no way.

Ah, I missed the "clicking on the American flag" detail. That would have saved me from googling the US tariffs section and scrolling thru all the exceptions (which were mainly unfinished goods). 

I'd still check with US Customs and asks them to check to see if the tariffs for what you want ever came down in 2020 since Doge mentions the tariffs at their inception in 2018 and nothing else since. It couldn't hurt.

All the best,

It's kinda odd that Jay's and Denafrips prices are just what they are. I've yet to hear of anyone paying 25% more than the price (in the form of a tariff), and they are made in China. If anyone has, please chime in on this one.

All the best,
