My counterexample is that I sell mid-high end vintage bicycle parts. There’s about a 0% chance of Shimano or Campagnolo bringing that production to the US because they haven’t made this stuff in several decades. I’ve now jacked my US shipping prices to account for tariffs. I’ll probably lose all US sales. US buyers probably won’t realize that ~5-10% of its supply has disappeared for these parts. They also may not recognize that US sellers can/will raise their prices accordingly but they will have that increase in price. Heck, I know some Canadian sellers that set up their supply chain well enough that they put down a US location and buyers think they’re buying domestic. Those will be toast (or have to vastly inflate their pricing). | ||

I bought a pair of motorcycle boots this way. It was a brand that isn't routinely imported into the US. The seller was a dealership near the Canadian border. It was something like they stocked them in London, Ontario and sold them from their Detroit subsidiary. | ||

> buyers think they’re buying domestic This is hard to tell from the discussion, but are you defending this practice? | ||
