ALMOST ALL OF OUR CONTAINERS WERE IN HOUSE BEFORE THE TARIFFS, AND THE TWO THAT WERE NOT WERE SHIPPED BEFORE TARIFFS BECAME EXTREMELY HIGH. HOWEVER, THIS STILL REPRESENTS A PRETTY BIG HIT.

BUT INSTEAD OF INCORPORATING THESE TARIFFS INTO PRICING, WE ARE GOING A DIFFERENT ROUTE.

A SIMPLE 3% TARIFF SURCHARGE WILL BE ADDED TO EACH SALE (SIMILAR TO A SALES TAX OR CREDIT CARD SURCHARGE).

THIS MEANS A $3.00 SURCHARGE ON A $100.00 PURCHASE, RATHER THAN A $3.00 INCREASE IN PRICE ON EVERY $10.00 ITEM. MUCH BETTER, WOULDN'T YOU AGREE?

AND HOPEFULLY, THIS ALL WILL SETTLE ITSELF BY NEXT SEASON (THE 250th ANNIVERSARY OF OUR GREAT NATION!)
