Tariffs

[human1234]

I imports in millions of dollars of packaging and equipment a year.  The equipment is not made in the USA..period.  For packaging, that same product I quoted is now 30% or potentially more than what was expected and even domestically made product has its raw material sourced from overseas (still tariffed).  My same container of just material went from 10k on average to 38k in just invoice add on expenses. Do you think companies can afford to eat those margins and survive?  With lead times on equipment projects being 26-52 weeks and many of those being in the 15-50 million dollar range, who do you think is getting hit with that tariff?  We are talking hundreds of thousands to millions of dollars in unexpected costs getting shoved in the agricultural sector. They will in turn need to pass on that significant cost to consumers because most commodities have a market.  Believing this is good long term is insane.
