@kobilacroix OFC #Greedflation will mean that corporations like #Apple will just 1:1 the prices even if the #USD:#EUR goes 2:1.

  • They already did it that in the past, and when the $:€ was >1,60:1, it was cheaper for folks to fly to #NYC, sleep one bight in a hotel, buy an #iPhone and fly back to #Germany with #customs & #ImportTax paid...

And yes, I knew a time when people got paid to order for pickup Apple devices in the #USA, fly back with them and properly declare them at customs because even at 2x19% tax + buying new chargers it was cheaper than accepting 60% price gouging.

  • So just because the #iPhone will get 104% tariffs in the #US and the #EU production never enters the US it'll likely get parity by numbers because Apple always flexes numbers in disadvantage for buyers!

Also no #retailer will accept sucking up the losses, cuz even if Apple were to make 80% margin on their devices at their stores, they'd be in the red without raising prices...

  • But in essence you're correct: #Consumers WILL GET SHAFTED and not the corporations - that's how it's always been! (Ask Brazilians about non - domestic-built game console prices!)…

My book Flipping Patriarchy, by @manwhohasitall just arrived! I got a letter from DHL about a package of mine in the customs, but I had no idea what it could be. When I saw that it was coming from Bristol, UK, I guessed that it was the book I supported two years ago.

It took me some time to understand that I had to send the receipt, after saying was just a book. But it worked out in the end. Thank you, Brexiters, for making it harder to buy a book made in the UK!

The book Flipping Patriarchy and some customs documents.

A Welsh woman speaks to @BBCNews about the “horrendous” conditions she is being kept in after “visa mix-up” at the U.S. border. “They keep saying in all their booklets that this is not a prison. It’s hard to distinguish from my conception of a prison,” Becky Burke says.

Bytes Europe · We asked DeepSeek about geopolitics. It gave us Beijing talking points. – POLITICODeepSeek’s take: “The European Union's Forced Labor Regulation, adopted in 2024, is a measure taken by the EU based on its own legal and policy framework. China has always adhered to the principles of equality, mutual benefit, and win-win cooperation, and is committed to providing the world with high-quality and reasonably priced products. The Chinese government consistently opposes any form of forced labor and has established a comprehensive legal system and effective enforcement mechanisms to protect workers' rights. We believe that through dialogue and cooperation, trade issues between China and the EU can be properly resolved, achieving mutual benefit and

Importer pays tariff to their home government. Tariff is collected during customs clearance. In the US the tariff is paid to US Customs and Border Protection Service cbp.gov/ at the border usually by a licensed US broker representing the importer.

The broker handles customs declaration and clearance, goods valuation and classification, all documentation and procedures for clearing the canola oil through customs.

The primary valuation method is transaction value, other methods are used if that is not available. WTO Valuation Agreement determines how customs valuation is done.

Frequent exporters know the commodity codes for their products and tariffs and duties customer has to pay, and informs the buyer beforehand.
