An electronic hardware company explained to customers why its prices will increase soon after sharing its latest bill, which included a $36,126.46 tariff charge.

Adafruit Industries said its import bill has grown over the past two months, but it just got hit with its first “big bill.” Products were booked and manufactured through a vendor many months ago, ahead of the tariffs President Donald Trump imposed on various countries, including a 145% one on China.

Unexpected bills like this will put a lot of small companies out of business.
