china can send that tire here for les because they use slave labor, maintain an artificial currency peg - yet still get un-tarriffed access to our market.
They have to pay the same tariffs as anyone else (except Mexico, Canada and other countries that we have free trade agreements with).
It depends on what they are sending.
Some items are 0%. Some clothing is above 30%.
Just once, I'd like to see a protectionist admit that he has no idea of what he's talking about. Please refer to Heading 4011:
Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States (2006) -- Supplement 1 (Rev. 1)
Well put!!!
