I depend on imports for some parts for my business. These parts aren’t even made in the US, so switching to a US maker won’t work for me. Shipping has already reduced my profit and this would minimis would further damage my business. Does anyone know the purpose of all this? Is it to destroy US businesses in favor of foreign?
The better way to limit importing is to make it a liable option to manufacture in the states again. To bad usa bows to china.
