One mistake Temu is making is showing it as “Import fees”. That’s correct of course, but they should label it specifically as “Import tariffs” or “Tariffs”, so that it’s clear what this is. From the comments in the linked reddit threads, a lot of people just think they’re extra fees Temu is voluntarily putting on as retaliation, their brains still aren’t making the link between “import fees” and “trump’s tariffs on China”.

There are some brave businesses around here that have started posting signs.
“Due to tariffs, we’ve had to raise our prices.”
I’m in the Deep South, I bet by end of week I see a place charging “Fuck China” surcharges.
Definitely needs to be “Trump’s tariff” to be clear.
Trump Tariff Tax would be even better.
This has abbreviation potential. “Have you paid the TTT on this?”.
Did you stutter?
Yeah maybe when spoken aloud we can use “triple T” instead haha.
