LMAO, swing and a miss...
I mean, they will pay them. And then charge more for product to cover the additional cost. It's a lot easier to tolerate that in the short term if you're bigger.
I find it amusing they though they'd be safe from the increased tariffs under a de minimis limit. That's a thing that could have happened, but that tends to benefit small purchasers over large ones which is the opposite of GOP thinking and is also no something Trump et al had ever mentioned, so I don't know why they would expect it?
For anyone that doesn't know, de minimis is a tariff exception for small purchases, basically that it's not worth the administrative cost of levying the tariff for fiddling small change, so if it's a small enough shipment they won't bother.
