Regarding tariffs, the funny thing is that no media outlet would consider this a big deal if they had been imposed by a government considered ‘leftist’…..

Anyway, regarding shipping, import fees and such, I noticed a problem a few years ago. I used to send holiday gifts to a friend in Austria until about 2 years ago, I was suddenly told at the post office that they would have to pay import duties, to the tune of 3 times the actual value of the goods (!) and that this had something to do with ‘Brexit’.

What the country formerly known as Great Britain  leaving the hegemony formerly known as Europe has to do with a package sent from the US to Austria is beyond me.
