We're at the tail end of the 20% additional tariff right now at the Los Angeles port (my last shipment arrived 3 days ago at that rate). New York lags a couple weeks behind Los Angeles. The rate is set when the shipment leaves China and books a docking slot with a port and runs 3 to 4 weeks. So while port traffic is somewhat reduced in reaction to the 20%, it's certainly not stalled out quite yet. It took us 2 days just to get a trucking slot, which is actually quite a long time relative to prior years. Companies seem to have scrambled to get their last orders on the water before the latest increase.But that is coming. Probably days away.</blockquote>
