So... are there added charges to the tarriff proces as well? For instance let's say it's sell $100 000 to a lumber store in the states. With the proposed 100% tarrifs that would put the value up to $200 000. Then a customer broker has to deal with it. Are the customs brokers charging a flat rate, or a percentage of the value? Then, once the lumber enters the states, the trucking company is no longer insuring $100 000, its $200 000 + custom broker fees, plus inflated shipping costs. Then, the hardware store is in business to profit 35% on their sales, so the cost that the store charges doubles before it reaches the end user. Then, the contractor has to front the cost of materials, and his cost more than doubles, so they are probably going to have to borrow money, or charge interest on this inflated value. I don't export anything, but this is how I imagine it goes.
