Will (say) a Bambu X1C increase from $1500 +145% to $3675 in the USA? If, so how soon?
Not quite as the declared value on which tarifs are applied is lower than the sales value. Still, quite a significant increase. @krellboy started tracking US sale prices first here:
Unfortunately there’s another possibility due to the high total price - just not sell in the US until this is resolved.
Land Rover paused all US shipments a few days ago. There’s probably others.
With things changing so rapidly, companies can’t afford to pay the huge tariffs to get things into the US. Once the tariff is paid, they accumulate inventory that has lots of costs built in. It’s a huge mess.
Many companies are forfeiting their cargos and giving them to the shipping companies to dispose of due to the high tariffs. It’s going to bankrupt lots of companies with high value shipments in transit.
Audi ceased imports last week, mentioning that US stocks should last for 2 months, when 20% tarifs were anounced. They are probably resuming shipping again but atm, no one is able to plan.

Similarly, Razer Blades seem to no longer be shipped.
There are probably a whole load of other goods filling up the warehouses.
I do wonder how long it’ll be until we can see effects on shipping.
Who’s Razor and why do I care?
A1 mini is up to $360 from $200.
As one might imagine, they are starting in with the exemptions.
China tariffs exempt phones, computers and other electronics.

Since we know that ‘everything is computer’ I imagine this changes quite a bit.
At least that will help out Apple, nividia, broadcom, etc. Now, I wonder if there’s a link there somewhere.
Unfortunately 3d printers were not exempted.
Correct me if I wrong, but Bambu does have local stock for printers like P1\X1\A1 and increasing price for those is just a shity money grab
Will the exemption on computers cover 3d printers?
It is all just a game HE is playing, and doesn’t under stand the rules because he never read them and won’t listen to those that know how the game is played. Sooner or later he will bored, lose the game and then someone who does understand how things are suppose to work will try, hopefully succeed, to put things right. All we can do is not panic, keep calm and let it play out. Don’t buy into his craziness.
