    How will Trump tariffs affect us then?

    I did not realise you were an official UK government spokesperson. I assumed you were just someone who relied on hack journalists for information, like all the other small businesses in the UK are forced to rely on.

    How will Trump tariffs affect us then?

    I'm not talking about explaining why certain decisions are being taken. I am talking about explaining what the current state is and how it affects UK exporters and the various goods. They could use their advice from their international legal advisers to tell us exactly what the current situation...

    How will Trump tariffs affect us then?

    Yes, it's a farce. A war is ongoing between the US judiciary and the US Executive Office. It may be because part of Trump's Big Beautiful Bill apparently contains a technicality where he can ensure he is exempt from contempt of court. This essentially would mean he would be above the law and...

    DHL today announced the end of this suspension now after "constructive dialogue with US Customs". No details have been announced on what was discussed. 10p bet they have just said wave it through but not to tell the president. Apparently, 2nd May sees package value under $800 hit by the tariffs...

    News today that DHL Express is suspending B2C > $800 to USA for now. B2B and < $800 apparently still going ahead. Shipments < $800 apparently to be tariffed from 2nd May.

    It was not at all obvious you were not the importer. You are sure they were charged 10%?

    Thousands of $ worth. So you have been charged, yes? What kind of freight?

    How will Trump tariffs affect us then?

    On multiple occasions now, Trump is saying that the US is taking $2billion per day because of these tariffs. More BS. We have had 4 airfreight packages imported into US since 5 April. No demands for any tariff on any of them. They haven't implemented it yet! Not surprising when you consider the...

    To give your intelligence the benefit of the doubt, I will assume you intentionally misunderstood. You are comparing apples with oranges, almost literally. Do you understand how to consider the comparison of a certain characteristic? You keep everything else the same and change just that...

    So lower quality food costs more money then does it? Or are you saying that the price of raw food is not related to its quality? Are you insane or just argumentative? All else being equal, obviously. We are not comparing price of food in UK with price of food in Japan. We are talking about why...

    Higher quality food costs more money. That's because better farming practices and welfare are more expensive. It's why free range meat and animal produce is more expensive. Most people are getting poorer in this country. Banning chlorine wash water from chicken processing, of whatever percentage...

    "Working towards a trade deal" is easy blather from Starmer to UK citizens in order to justify not implementing retaliatory tariffs or, at least, buy him some time. Are you suggesting a free trade agreement? Why would Trump be bothered? I'll believe it when I see it. Maybe Trump will give a few...

    With respect, can you go and discuss chlorinated chicken on a different thread? This thread is about "Liberation Day" US tariffs. We can have whole new threads about regulations and trade deals. Thanks.

    Expect dumping of some common goods with lowered prices over the next few weeks. Then expect to see those prices ramp up as production normalises with the stock buffer.
