Hopefully they do. But then again if some vessels cant get through there where are they going to be re-routed to? Sure that'll have its own set of complications if they have to take another route or be forced to ship by land or air.

To be clear, I doubt they actually will change the rules. They want to maximize the amount of trade going through the canal, despite any risks.

I agree. I think most likely with many precautions/changes/restrictions that have been put into place due to COVID, after the pandemic is over it'll be business as usual I'm afraid.

Well, considering the only chance I had at this rate to get Fizban's Treasury of Dragons and Curriculum of Chaos Alt covers, was to pre order both of them in one order: So I'm pretty much not getting either book until December 3rd or a bit later after that. So an extra bit of waiting is not gonna kill me.

I was gonna need to wait for it to be on Amazon US to then import anyway.

Are the D&D books still printed in China? It's a bad policy, I think. At least for the European market, they should print the books in an eastern member state. Inexpensive, but still good quality.

They were never printed in China. Wizards of the Coast books have always been printed in the USA. You can look back at the copyright pages for 3E and onwards to confirm this.

Other products (miniatures, for example) come from China, but all of the books are domestic productions.

Not quite. Xanathar's Guide to Everything was printed in China, for example.

My copy of Xanathar's Guide to Everything (first printing) says it was printed in the USA.

Please cite your evidence for this. As with @Rabulias my copy says printed in the USA.

I have felt curiosity and I have seen my D&D Spanish language books have been printed in Lithuania.
