    Tariff charges are paid by the importer, not the exporter. Adding huge tariffs to Chinese manufactured goods can only hurt American companies who rely on Chinese engineering and manufacturing expertise.

    This is a charge that American companies will have to pay and it is the people of the US who will foot the bill for additional costs.

        Hearing it from real people running the real companies we’re used to hearing about in reviews or even being a patron of, really helps bring the reality of what’s happening front and center. Its also fascinating seeing the insulation of the larger companies like Corsair and how different but also alike they speak about the uncertainty of the future.
