But other retailers are breaking out the import duties on customer receipts -- sometimes causing shock among shoppers.

Thanks but it's more complicated than that, isn't it?

Everyone recognizes that American swimsuit manufacturers (as one example) will also take this opportunity to raise prices.

And why not? There's about to be a swimsuit shortage.

I thought it was called price gouging when you charge $119 for 5 square inches of bikini.

That's who the actual headline is about, Triangl. A price gouging bikini company lol.

If you've got kids that competitively swim, you're buying performance Speedo stuff, which is portugal made with italian fabrics, tarriffs are 10% more than before.

Zed, I'm sure the guys at the bar you frequent won't care if your thong is American or Chinese made.

Triangl, an online swimwear company, announced that as of April 30, orders from U.S.-based customers will include tariff charges at checkout. On Thursday, a one-piece woman's swimsuit sold on the site with a retail cost of $119 was subject to tax of $12.35, while shipping costs ran $20. Import duties on the item amounted to $211.11, raising the final price to $362.46.

211.11/119=1.774033613 suddenly 177%?
