You do know that we impose higher tariffs on US products than the US imposes on ours, even after Trump justifiably trying to redress the balance.
When was the last time you ever imported anything from the States ?.
Or for that matter asked the local tool suppliers why the shelves are full of Chinese made unfit for purpose garbage quality junk, but no American or even domestic.
As opposed to retarded Communist ‘voters’ with the societal expectations and intelligence of ants.
You mean anyone or anything opposed to Marxist Communism and zb hole China.
The UK had a 10% tariff on US made motorcars I think? 8% on clothing? 12% on fresh meat?
Not a lot is it?
Nothing like the stupid figures he (or someone) magicked up. https://youtube.com/shorts/Zu4cRSe3nx8?si=9K1ye-gcE-4mIWXu
Snap On tools are easily available. Not at the local hardware shop, but I wouldn’t expect that anyway. Some of their range is still US made, but not all.
Screwfix have a range of different quality tools, including Bosch, a mostly German make.
I doubt that any tools are 100% US made, or 100% UK, or EU made.
Are any ?
Three of your mates all “take for granted” that the UK pays more than other countries.
Well, that is it then.
Why didn’t you drop that massive piece of proof earlier?
Three guys all “take something for granted”.
I hope none are engineers? (I took it for granted the bolt was strong enough)
Jury members? (I took it for granted the Police only arrested guilty people)
Drivers? (I took it for granted that the load was secure)
You really can be an absolute balloon sometimes.
I was merely pointing out that not all followers of your type of politics are made up of delusional woke fools…but you knew exactly where I was coming from on it, but played the suprlerior smart arse card anyway…as you do.
Ok then mate I’ll.believe YOU instead…sorted, you’ve sold it to me…
You are almost maverick in this subject, you are the only bloke I have ever heard (outside of the dubious side of Parliament,) coming out with this BS.
Typical lefty loon…‘‘I know better than anybody’’/‘everyone except us talks nonsence’ .
You need help mate …you are taking your role as ‘useful idiot’ to the extreme.
In a strange kind of way I actually (but very slightly and for all of 2 seconds) feel kinda sorry for you.
You are missing what the real world is like with your terminal delusion and naivety.
Off to bed, I’ve had a good laugh again…cheers.
So I’ll leave you with another chance to answer the avoided question…
Which other countrues provide the list I gave you for their bogus refugees?
prat and burnard are british made and you have the international branch that are us made. i belive southbend are still made in usa along with logan. i know jacobs chucks are still made in america as proper rohl chucks are german. Myford are now owned by rdg but they promise that they still use the same quality parts… i have my doubts about that as i bought a 7mm chuck key that was 7,4 one direction and 7.8mm in the other. What the machines are like i have no idea. Chronos stuff is supposed to be made in germany (proxon) and there is a company thats good for metalogical stuff thats supposed to be czechosolvakian.
spend a small amount of time on any model engineering forum and you will realise just how many of the members are youngsters working for engineering places in the usa. Its not like here where if you can find an engineering firm that actualy makes stuff its usualy stuffed with spotty oinks that can tap a few keys on the computer and press the tit. they have no idea how to use a micrometer or anything about speeds and feeds.
i have shown you 4 times now that is true. i have even shown you a lefty article that is in support of the illegals saying it is true.
heres one for you and i wonder how many people on here do this. how many drivers just put the dog clip in and walk away how many check it is going to stop that handle coming forward, It is our responcability to check it. just like it is the responcability of the engineer to make sure they use the correct bolt or the responcability of the design team to specify the correct bolt.
As always suffering from chronic verbal diarrhoea.
Import from USA to UK is 10% duty on the goods and on the shipping cost + 20% VAT on the total including the duty.So more than 30% total tax charges.No US state applies a 20% purchase tax in addition to duty.
So the import duty…the tariff…is the same then.
Shipping charges are…guess what?..they are…shipping charges! Not a tax.
VAT is a tax imposed by the UK Gov, as surely all Gov are allowed to do in their own country, on goods sold. It is not imposed differentially on UK and foreign (US) goods.
VAT is applied evenly across the board. It is the UK Gov alone that decides on it.
The presenter here is a bit loud for my taste, but he is making a good point about Trump and about the US health system.
Note also the first comment afterwards. Biden put a cap on US drug prices, and Trump put it off again.
of course he did because it was absoloutely stupid to put a cap on something and then fund the difference. ingredients for the drug go up so the price of the drug goes up… its what you lot have been moaning about with the tarrifs. difference being there is an alternative to buying in some substandard product… make it your self rather than put a cap on american made drugs and force people to buy stuff from overseas,
you of course wont accept that because its what labour did to this country
You get a certificate from HMRC for the VAT and you include that in your next return. So, as long as you’re VAT registered, you effectively get that deduction back.
Regarding the shipping costs, these are not subject to VAT to get to the port of entry. The cost of getting the goods re-delivered is subject to VAT but again this is recoverable when you submit your quarterly VAT return.
To add you seem to have missed the duty + VAT on the shipping cost.
Like Lancping your loyalties are clearly with your far left Chinese comrades.
The fact is purchase cost + shipping + 10% duty + 20% VAT on the total is enough to make the choice between US/Australian car imports v European prohibitive.
In addition to type approval issues.
China doesn’t care because its labour costs are cheap enough regardless.
Trump is right but he should have banned Euro and Chinese imports out of the US market not just taxed them.
What’s in it for American workers’ jobs and American industry and American incomes.?.
Again
VAT is the same rate no matter the origin of goods.
The UK decides what standards it wants for vehicles etc.
What is wrong with that?
We haven’t had pedestrian safety for vehicles compromised by the delusional Lone Skum or whoever.
A lot of American company’s Nike apple amongst other.
There great American brands but there all made in china etc.
And rightly so he wants them all made in the USA so America can create jobs make money from the taxes etc.
But of the all decided to move productiouto American costs would go up as no slave labour like in china
Maybe a better way would be for him to incentive to company’s come build in America Wer will give you tax breaks help you etc.
Are you trying to suggest that the tariff is also applied to the shipping cost?
This is a copy of the bill for one of my imports a couple of years ago. These are the charges that you pay outside of the actual bill to the supplier. The VAT is calculated on the invoice from the supplier. The import duty is a percentage of this invoice as well. All other charges are nett. I claim the VAT back through my VAT return, the import duty I need to suck up. From memory I think the import duty was 2% of the invoice price. I hope this helps you to understand how the import system actually works (from someone who participates in this kind if thing)
