According to Trump, China pays that 10% tariff, not us.  Shame on Digikey for 
defying him and charging that tariff to you.

I received 25 #31 Fair-Rite snapons from digikey and was charged 6.65 tariff on 
an order of ~$65 plus tax and shipping to make ~$83 total order.Chuck K9LC

Fair-Rite and Tariffs I just bought 12 #43 toroids from Arrow Electronics, 
partly for research, but mostly to get free shipping on a small order. They 
shipped from the Netherlands, possibly to avoid tariffs. It is my understanding 
that this tactic is rather widely used. Bottom line -- if you're buying stuff 
like this, it's worth shopping around, especially with vendors with significant 
world-wide presence. I've found Arrow to be a particularly good vendor for 
relatively small purchases -- free shipping for web orders over $50 for 
anything in stock.73, Jim
