Hey Aussieninja, how ya goin?
So when I tried to bring the PB into China, I would need to pay the import department of the Chinese government 3 separate taxes. They would get the money first and I would need to make it back on retail sales, by charging the customer $10 in this example. Good question, but pretty simple actually. They lock up the goods in the port until you pay.
I wrote this article with a Chinese audience in mind (and had it translated). At the moment, they're being programmed by the TeeVee to feel "OUTRAGED! UNFAIR! HORRIBLE" at the American tariffs when they do the same thing.
My point is not to say one side is right, it's to say that both sides are economically ignant morons :-)
