A number of people quoted in news sources today said when it looked like there'd be tariffs they discussed them with their suppliers and usually the suppliers showed flexibility, "eating" half to all of the small tariff.

When the tariffs landed at 25, 45, 50+% percent that broke down completely.

Now, back at 10%, who knows?
