Unless you get hit with the flat fee instead.

> Packages sent to the US from mainland China and Hong Kong with a value of up to $800 now face a 120% tax rate or are subject to a flat fee. The fee started at $100 and is due to rise to $200 at the beginning of June.



Yeah that part was unclear. So maybe the $100 flat fee is the minimum.

In that case us importers will pop up to import them in bulk and your uc goes up to $8.

Maybe it makes sense to order something from Parallax or TI in that case.
