Good! This country needs to be taught a lesson. I am a big fan of Japanese culture and own a Japanese car and I can hold back on any major purchases if needed. But for my super conservative/ hyper capitalist coworkers who “have” to always be buying something are already complaining that there stuff from amazon and temu are increasing in price or are not getting shipped are going has a rude awakening. Christmas is gonna be hilarious and sad for most of us.

Rules:
-
Rule 1: posts have the following requirements:
- Post news articles only
- Video links are NOT articles and will be removed.
- Title must match the article headline
- Not United States Internal News
- Recent (Past 30 Days)
- Screenshots/links to other social media sites (Twitter/X/Facebook/Youtube/reddit, etc.) are explicitly forbidden, as are link shorteners.
-
Rule 2: Do not copy the entire article into your post. The key points in 1-2 paragraphs is allowed (even encouraged!), but large segments of articles posted in the body will result in the post being removed. If you have to stop and think "Is this fair use?", it probably isn't. Archive links, especially the ones created on link submission, are absolutely allowed but those that avoid paywalls are not.
-
Rule 3: Opinions articles, or Articles based on misinformation/propaganda may be removed. Sources that have a Low or Very Low factual reporting rating or MBFC Credibility Rating may be removed.
-
Rule 4: Posts or comments that are homophobic, transphobic, racist, sexist, anti-religious, or ableist will be removed. “Ironic” prejudice is just prejudiced.
-
Posts and comments must abide by the lemmy.world terms of service UPDATED AS OF 10/19
-
Rule 5: Keep it civil. It's OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It's NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
-
Rule 6: Memes, spam, other low effort posting, reposts, misinformation, advocating violence, off-topic, trolling, offensive, regarding the moderators or meta in content may be removed at any time.
-
Rule 7: We didn't USED to need a rule about how many posts one could make in a day, then someone posted NINETEEN articles in a single day. Not comments, FULL ARTICLES. If you're posting more than say, 10 or so, consider going outside and touching grass. We reserve the right to limit over-posting so a single user does not dominate the front page.
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

Love it. I hope other countries follow suit since no one here in the US is going to learn until life starts being inconvenient/uncomfortable.
Australia has also stopped, and I think there are a few more countries outside Europe. Right now the US economy is Wile E. Coyote after he's run off the edge of the cliff but before he realizes it...
From what I've been reading it's nearly the whole world.
Saves them having to hold a ton of us crap that’s got a $400 tariff on a 59 cent item and they buyer says fuck that keep it.
I think one of the reasons is that US is now demanding shippers pay the tariffs, which is unheard of and no shipping company has mechanisms to achieve this.
From what they say here it's because tariffs are paid on delivery, so by US people, and many of them refuse to do so. And shipping companies don't want to deal with this mess.
Are you sure ? In Europe at least you pay tarif directly to to the vendor and he pay the tariff for you. That seem a normal thing for expedition. Is it not because nobody know which tariff apply to which goods or countries ?
Youre right, but if you buy something and taxes arent paid, or paperwork isnt done right, you will be paying for it on delivery.
The us is like that from what ive read on the case of tarrifs.
Tbh, their whole sales tax and extra costs system is fucked and its the reason i dont order from the us or uk anyway. To much shit to deal with
