[TowerTalk] Fair-Rite and Tariffs

[Jim Brown]

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.
