Are Trump's tariffs an own goal? - Trumps Zölle ein Eigentor?

EN (DE unten)

Hello dear community,

Has Trump scored an own goal with the tariffs, or rather shot himself in the foot?

Some companies have already stopped exporting to the US, mainly because of uncertainty regarding the calculation.

Since many companies do not know how to calculate the new tariffs, or simply cannot do so because they lack the necessary data, they have decided not to export for the time being. This is because companies fear not only having to pay additional customs duties, but also being fined.

What will happen if there are no more important spare parts available in the US in a few weeks? Many companies still have a certain amount in stock, but what will happen when these stocks are depleted?

What if large machines come to a standstill? Companies that are already affected by the deportation of employees could be hit even harder.

Now there is also a [fee of $100,000](https://www.rnd.de/politik/usa-trump-verhaengt-gebuehr-von-100-000-dollar-fuer-h1b-visa-5JCEVYAMRBNU5MN7TRO2BK4LTI.html? utm_source=firefox-newtab-en-US) on visas for skilled workers.

Well, let's hope that doesn't go terribly wrong. What do you think?

Hallo liebe Community,

hat Trump da ein Eigentor mit den Zöllen geschossen oder besser gesagt sich selbst ins Bein geschossen?

Bereits einige Firmen haben den Export in die USA gestoppt, da vor allem Unsicherheit herrscht bzgl. der Berechnung.

Da viele Firmen nicht wissen, wie die neuen Zölle zu berechnen sind oder es schlicht nicht können, weil ihnen Daten fehlen, haben Sie beschlossen erst mal nicht zu exportieren. Denn die Firmen befürchten nicht nur Zollgebühren nachzahlen zu müssen, sondern auch Strafen dann auferlegt zu bekommen.

Was passiert, wenn es in den USA dann in einigen Wochen keine wichtigen Ersatzteile mehr geben wird? Noch haben viele Firmen dort ein gewissen Kontingent auf Lager, aber wenn diese leer sind, was dann?

Was, wenn dann große Maschinen still stehen? Hier könnten Firmen nochmal zusätzlich betroffen sein, die bereits durch die Ausweisung von Mitarbeitern betroffen sind.

Nun gibt es auch noch eine Gebühr von 100.000 Dollar auf Visa für Fachkräfte.

Na wenn das mal alles nicht mächtig schief geht. Was denkt ihr?

I don't understand, the tariff is payed by the importer, the exporter had no need of calculate that or pay anything to US.

The 100k for HB1 visas is payed also for the companies not the skilled worker.

That's not entirely correct; it depends on the contract concluded between the importer and exporter. In addition, the importer and exporter are often one and the same.
Large companies have a branch office in the USA as well as their own warehouses, import goods in their own name, and then sell them to end customers there.

You think the companies want to pay 100k for the visa?
