You got a link for that in the current tariff schedule?

I’m not sure that I understand your question, but the U.S. increased the 10% tariff to 25% on May 10th.

P1 doesn't need to go to sdcc to promote their products.

They don’t “need” to, no. But it certainly doesn’t hurt a company that makes statues of comic book characters to be at the biggest comic book convention in the world.

Yeah but with the internet millions will see what they put anyway.

The tariffs have been increased for certain tariff codes. The one covering statues and figures has never been included on any published list of increases. Are people just assuming they have increased or did a company say that? If a company said that, I challenge them to prove it.

If I am remembering correctly, Tweeterhead was chatting about how the tariffs were impacting the statue collectibles industry. He brings up the tariffs additional costs. You can see this on YouTube via Batman Statue Collector's channel.

Chad from Tweeterhead said in that video that he got an unexpected bill due to the tariffs. He stated flat-out that he is paying the tariff to get his product--not China as some would have you believe.

Correct. Chad had been paying the 10% tariff since it started last year. Then, a few days after the increase on May 10, he had a shipment come in and couldn’t get it released from the port until he paid the higher 25% tariff.

Prime 1 also announced publicly that their recent suspension of economy shipping (now renewed) was a result of the tariffs.

Prime 1 schedule, marketing and actions are weird.

On their page, we can see Yennefer from the Witcher as coming soon for ages, no info about... size, price, dates, videos, nothing.

And now they´re not coming to SDCC
