India for example does plastic injection molding as well as China, and has capacity in its factories.I suspect it won't come to that, as I am hearing out of China they expect the rate to go down to 35% for products which are not considered national security interests of the United States. Of course we don't know that will happen. But I think it's one of the more likely outcomes of this whole thing.35% wouldn't be "good" in my opinion, and would cost my business a bit more than we're used to. But it's a more manageable number than the current rate. I'm frankly not sure how companies were paying no tariff before all of this. I've been paying 29% from 2018 until this latest increase, though my products are definitely a different HS code than board games.[Edit - I see the HS code for board games is usually 9504.90.6000 and that was listed as 0% before. Huh. I have no idea how board games got away with a 0% tariff all these years when most other goods out of China had some level of tariff on them, regardless of the Administration.]</blockquote>
