Longtime import client lashes out when faced with a $200K tariff bill, demands her importer cover the cost, when they refuse she attempts to handle it herself, racking up higher error costs: ‘Come back to kindly ask us to do her imports again’ – FAIL Blog

Now she’s running back with her hands held together in a plea that they take her back. Ending up with a loss on shipments and duties owed! Expenses are not something that can be avoided, as intimidating as they may seem, it is part of life, and especially part of running a business. Yes we wish there was just one enormous Target that held everything we could dream of, from French Croissants to China’s steel, so that nothing would ever have to be imported or exported again. But unfortunately that Target only exists in the figments of our imagination. 

So for now, we keep importing, and with that…we keep paying.
