Gringo bought air conditioning in Mexico and upon his return he was charged 145% tariff.
Warm Room.- A gringo thought it would be a good idea to cross into Mexico to buy an air conditioner, and when he returned home, he was charged 145% tariffs.
As we are all probably aware, Donald Trump has ordered many products from other countries to pay tariffs upon entering the United States , including some from Mexico .
While no one knows for sure which products do and don't pay, it seems that mini-splits manufactured in our country are among those that do qualify when brought to Gringolandia.
That's what happened to a man who crossed into Nuevo Laredo intending to buy one of these products to take home to Texas, and just as he crossed customs in his country, hey presto! The corresponding tariff was applied.
This tax was paid not so much because it was purchased in our country, but because it was manufactured in China , which did have tariffs applied to all its products.
" Today I learned my lesson, and it cost me $686 in total. Even if it's for personal use, if the product is from China , they'll still charge you," the man named Valdo Guajardo posted.
In his post, he explained that the “climate” (regios dixit ) had cost him $280 (about 5,600 pesos), but when he crossed it, the United States Customs and Border Protection Office (CBP, in its Shakespearean Anglo-Saxon acronym) charged him $406 more in tax, because it had been made by pandas and minors.
And to keep us smiling: a luxury yacht sank with 30 influencers on board, and they barely managed to jump to safety.
