Best Buy says Trump's tariffs could force it to raise prices for consumers - eviltoast

Summary

Best Buy warned that Trump’s proposed tariffs on imports from China, Mexico, and Canada could raise prices on consumer electronics, as 60% of Best Buy’s inventory comes from China.

Trump plans to impose a baseline 10% tariff on all imports and a 60% tariff on Chinese goods to boost domestic manufacturing.

Retailers like Best Buy and industry groups like the Consumer Technology Association are preparing for supply chain disruptions by importing goods early or sourcing alternatives to avoid higher consumer prices.

    Because the packaging and design on the card aren’t that hard to fake convincingly and amazon doesn’t care where the stock comes from it all goes in the bin so to speak. So if some really good fakes get in the shuffle you could get unlucky.
