Tidbits! February 2019

February 4, 2019

In the month of February, love is celebrated on Valentine’s Day!  Have you ever used the term “love you to the moon and back?”  Did you know that if you actually go to the moon and back you would have to declare your goods??

On July 20, 1969, Apollo 11 made history with the first human operated expedition to the moon. Upon return, Astronaut Neil Armstrong and his colleagues had to declare the moon rock and moon dust samples to customs officials upon their return!

Happy Valentine’s Day!!!

RECIP PAUSE TO END

Dear Valued Client,

Almost 90 days after the President authorized the 90 days PAUSE on higher country rate reciprocal tariffs, some countries have made progress and some have made deals.

As July 8 approaches, there is talk from the President indicating that some of the reciprocal tariffs will go back into effect for countries that have not worked on a deal.

Additional updates will follow once they are available.

CANADA TALKS END

The President has announced on Truth Social that all discussions on trade with Canada have been terminated effective immediately.  The President stated that the termination is because of years of tariffs on dairy products at 400%, and a recently announced Digital Services Tax on American tech companies.
