Please tell me I'm not the only one who does this….
My prices do not “return to normal”. They either stay where they are or they go up.
Tariffs are not paid by the sender (Me) or the receiver (my customers). They are paid at the border by the importer.

If labor costs go up, materials costs, rent, etc I raise my product prices. If those costs go down, I keep my prices right where they are.
Prices are going up regardless because:
I'm losing international sales because of the tariffs and I have to recoup those lost sales somehow
I have to rebuild supply chains $ch-ching$
I can only expect Trump to continue disrupting the business environment with his willy-nilly bullshit proclamations and I need to protect my business against that worthless orange auto-fellating facefucker
I work in manufacturing. I only raise prices.
But the importer is now going to charge the receiver. As soon as the tariffs are gone, receivers are going to stop getting that surcharge.

But wait, there's more!
