what does the supreme court decision mean for /toy/ collectors? can we go back to buying a bunch of stuff from Japan without paying a ridiculous surcharge?

Unfortunately I don’t think the ruling means much. At least for toys. Once the gene is out I don’t think you can put it back in. We might get a little something here and there, but why the effort when people already are use to paying the higher prices. You should have stopped buying. This is your fault. JK, I think only the Chinese stuff is going to benefit from this. They are the ones who are the hungriest. Throughout all this ordeal the cheapest quality figures have been from the Chinese makers.

Trump is still trying to have unilateral 10-15% tariffs. Companies are still not going to lower prices at this point, or ever. Even with going back to pre-2025 tariffs I’d wager most companies will just keep the prices as-is to pocket any extra profit.

from what i understand it lowered the import tariff from japan from 15 to 10 for now for the next 5 months, but the longer term plan seems to be to try to use another act to recreate the previous tariff rates after 'investigations' which out of this administration means they will find an excuse to do what they want
i don't think any companies will adjust prices lower; all of the previous volatility is still there, he simply can no longer raise and lower them as quickly at his whims but he can still do slower and with how long it takes to ship overseas its plenty long enough

I don't think it means too much for importing tbqh. The problem wasn't tariffs, it was the removal of de minimis and apparently that was removed using the Big Beautiful Bill, so getting that reinstated is not looking good. Sucks.
>>
>>11719495
its both really, but yeah its probably not coming back unless tariffs go away entirely and it is back to a net loss of money trying to collect low cost package import duties again
>>
>>11719493
case in point, he just raised the minimum rate to the maximum 15% all of 20 minutes ago out of pettiness
>>
>>11719495
The import fees are the real ball-buster, and like you said, de minimis was killed in the One Big Beautiful Bill.

What decision, I don't watch the news

If prices don't go down, it just shows how all the hate for Trump is actually theater and that the elites fully support everything he does.

It's the same shit with Bush 2 and the Patriot Act. Everyone says that they were fooled by all his actions, but despite all their lamentation and Bush being 2 decades gone, no one has dismantled what they created.

Same shit with Reagan. Everyone blabs about what he did for the big businesses, but we continued down the same path and democrat presidents/senators/reps actually made it worse.

They declared the tariffs Trump implemented as illegal and they will be revoked. Not that this is going to bring prices back down...

As long as it means I don't have to pay extra for DHL again that's fine with me.

Court decided that the avenue trump pursued for tariff is a no go so they said no.
Two judges said the decision is retarded. One of the judge (a liberal) got so mad that he wrote a 63 page document on how to circumvent this ruling because he thinks the decision is bs too.

Hate to break it to you but the three women who weren't appointed by the Republicans are the liberals. The five men plus the Stable Genius' last, rushed appointment, a woman, are all recognized as very conservative. I'm too tired to look up whom you mean, but I know it's not the black guy or the other old men because if it was up to them, they are so fucking conservative I would be able to type 'fucking' in public and sites like 4chan would be barred from ISP's in the states. They are exactly the kinds of lawyers writing and passing laws like the porn ban in Texas.
So you must mean the beer boofer or the other two and none of those three would even ever have a black lives matter platitude on their social media just for appearance. As far as those three are concerned, there were only good people on one side.

Kavanaugh wrote the 63-pager. Thomas and Alito were the other two dissenting justices.

Trump IS an elite, dumbass.

he needs to go back to drinking and 'liking" drinking beer with his old frat buddies, who are all probably elites now, so they can get back to drinking them out of each other's assholes

sorry anon but "I like beer your honor" is about the most American and relatable thing that's ever been said
>>
best case it's a sign of stabilization, the floor of crappy prices is what it is now but the cover for any farther crazy price increases is mostly passed.
>>
>>11724550
"your honor" is what you would say to judges.
He lied to politicians, like the good little political shit he was.

They were replaced with 15% across the board, on every country. So not just China, but Vietnam, Malaysia, Mexico, even LEGO will go up in price, for the next 6 months, so yes, you will STILL be paying more for DHL because EVERYONE will be paying more.

And these won't get revoked or removed, so the money will be collected and become just another slush fund.
>>
>>11725819
From what I've heard on the news the 15% has a limited time on it, congress has to approve it after a certain period or it goes away. But who knows if toy manufacturers will lower prices after it goes away if theyve already raised them. Probably not.
>>
>>11726131
congress also had to vote on his original tariffs and they managed to simply weasel out of it by changing the definition of a day, so that it was never allowed to be brought to the floor
don't count on them to do any better this time because they will find another way to do the exact same shit again
you don't hate politicians enough

I approve.
Now they need to make a decent, good looking Johnny Storm so Torch and Spidey can take turns pegging each other, because actually sticking their penis into each other's asses would be, of course, 'too gay.'
