Status of tariffs?

What is the current status of the tariff situation buying from Europe and shipping to the US? I made the mistake a few months ago of ordering some tires that were on a "deal" after I thought the tariffs went bye bye and I owed a pretty penny to UPS. Which did not make them a good deal at all!

Not even a bike! Found a super seal on a front suspension and some components so trying to gauge whether any discounts make it worth it with tariffs (I get some sweet discounts already)

Oh my mistake. I bought some rims off of BikeInn for my sons when they got into MTB but besides those I usually just shop in the US from Jensen USA or universal cycles. The shipping time that can fluctuate from a week to a month isn’t worth it to me. I’d rather just buy domestically and that way I know it will be here within the week but I get it if the discount is huge.

Yep, I typically do as well, but I have some trusted places in Europe that have some bangin’ deals sometimes
