3 April 2025 Donald J. Trump announces NEW reciprocal tariffs.

Effective immediately:
Over China 34%
Over Taiwan 32%
Over Malaysia 24% 
Over Japan   24%
Over EU      20% 

Over all imported cars 25% 

Quick translation, prices goes up for branded electrical test and measurement equipment, and even for all sort of electronics for hobbyist.

Best consumer to consumer advice for American consumers, you are still able to get anything that pleases you from Asia, just think twice before you click on the buy now button.
We all do benefit our local economy, when we avoid buying goods, that we do not actually need.

Also, in the recent years, I did noted Chinese them to inflate their pricing at double or triple when they are selling out side of China.
I do see the American tariffs as an excellent opportunity, which this will work also in favor of international fair trade.
