Hey....serious question. Now that Trump is in and wants to enact tariffs/surcharges on goods coming in to the USA....do any of you expect an increase in price for GEAR that is made in Mexico or China?

I do, yes.

My company imports extensively from Asia (raw materials, aluminum extrusions and brass castings predominantly) and we are in limbo. His twitter wars could have staggering implications, and he's refusing to participate in State Department briefings before engaging in them.

Oh man.......sorry to hear that. I had that feeling the "poop would hit the fan". So, I guess I better buy whatever import I want within the next month?
