Comment on Solar panel costs have plummeted from $6 per watt in 2000 to just 12 cents today
Aceticon@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 week agoI wasn’t aware the US had a Duty Tax for some things that was a fixed minimum price.
Until now, all I had ever seen and learned about Duty Tax and Tariffs is that they’re a percentage on top of total price of a product delivered at the border (so basically factory price + shipping to border costs).
Then again I’m in Europe and only ever imported stuff in bulk here for a small business I had years ago.

It’s a new policy that will take effect by the end of the year. It’s party of our current administration’s tarrifs efforts to boost American manufacturing. I disagree with it, like I do most of what our current government is doing.
