Any thoughts on the 145% Chinese tariff on purchases?

Anyone place an order before May 2nd from AliExpress and received after?  I have a pair of rims I ordered back in March that are stuck in customs. I'm assuming I'll get smacked with a big tariff charge.

F'n mess.

I'm still keeping up with my coins. I have access to a few international addresses I can ship stuff to. Though I would have to plan to have somebody pick up my items or take a trip myself to get the items. Hmm, what can I ship to Canada that will fit in a carry-on? 

Dildos! a carry one suitcase full of dildos, just to troll airport security! Yes or yes?

I think i heard that what counts is the export date, ie the date when the parcel left china. If that happened before the cut off, you're supposed to be safe

I've no idea!  Does that count for de minimus too or just the tariff on $800+?  I guess I'll find out. Been in customs for 2 weeks already and says 'u.s.a. customs clearance of import u.s.' since 4/21.

I recently had a package get hung up at a US customs step for about 2 weeks. In fact, it was longer than 2 weeks. Because after 2 weeks with no updates I decided to re-order so as not to miss out on the item with the upcoming deadlines in case it never cleared. Just my luck it cleared a couple of days later so now I have 2 of that item (the second order arrived in record time, no customs hangup).

I was thinking one of those silicone dolls packed in my carry-on luggage should suffice!
