So, one of the few countries in the western world (don’t know enough to generalize more) that never includes the taxes in the prices, but somehow they expected the tariffs to be included in the price…
PS: This is not a dig at you, it is because surely you are right about their expectation in many cases…
Everything is confusing, so I don’t really blame people.
Some platforms you pay tariffs inclusive of price (rare, but I have seen it), most you pay at checkout like a tax line item, others you get a bill from the shipper. And sometimes you think your ordering something from China but it’s actually shipped from a domestic warehouse so the tariffs were already paid.
Okay so pretend they are right, pretend that the Spanish manufacturer pays the tariff:
Do you think they will still sell it at the same price if they had to pay $450? They’d just charge you more to cover their fees, lmfao.
Edit: Oh someone here already commented this, oops
Maybe they assumed it was built into the price already.
