Anyone Notice Stiff Tariff Increases On Goods?
Not interested in nationalism, politics or other theater... Solar panels or anything else? How about stuff from Taiwan. I don't see why their stuff would jump but then who knows...

Solar panels here are a bit cheaper this year than they have been over the years, getting to be more like they were in the States at say 70 cents per watt for 24s.
Mex, I don't know about the effect of any tariffs here. Canada just dropped some tariffs on some USA things that made them more expensive to buy here. (Seems we were punishing the USA by making ourselves pay more, but now we are friends again. :) ) Some things have gone up here lately because of higher fuel costs for the 18 wheelers and higher taxes generally. ISTR reading there is a drought in California where half the veggies eaten in North America are grown, which can't be good for prices this year either. Always something.
Next the oranges in Florida will all freeze this winter, due to global warming, and that will jack up the price of orange juice again.
Tariffs--who can tell?
