Until the next administration, if Trump doesn't get his way.

Isn’t their any AliExpress-using maker collective that could get together to build some kind of gold-plated desk ornament to present to this administration to see if an exception can be proffered?

How can stuff randomly enacted by executive order ever be "permanent". Especially given how legally dubious it is to claim that everything is about fentanyl and therefore this is all somehow security and not economic.

This does not change a thing for China as the whole single item low value thing is hardly a significant income overall, but it will devistate many small and micro repair services and hobbiests in the US, and exactly, right now, there millions of people waiting for the thing they wont get, a little thing, of no real concequence, to do thing with the other thing that goes click and the thing works again, which is inordinatly satisfying, but will now cost $37 instead of $8.29 which breaks the whole model. As these low value packages are so varied in contents and end up dispersed over the whole country, there cant and wont be any particular effect, other than resentment, as varied as the packages and people waiting, finding out that the little thing of no consequence to anyone has been stolen, in broad daylight, as part of a greater attack on, as it turns out,everything.

Permanent until Trump will talk to somebody else than Navarro about these tariffs and will be promptly lifted.

The problem with current setup is attempt to strongarm tariffs onto seller, who will then promptly either stop sending any packages (because that's not how the system works) or bill the tariff back to customer explicitly - Here is your invoice for shipment and here is your invoice for tariff. You are just creating more bureaucracy at this point for no benefit.
