Need a real-world example of how Trump’s tariffs are hitting the electronics industry? Wyze says it paid $255,000 with import fees to ship just $167,000 worth of product.
On Wednesday, Wyze posted a screenshot of a shipment receipt. “Just got our first tariff bill. We imported $167k of floodlights and then paid $255k in tariffs. That’s more than any of our founders were paid last year,” the Seattle-based company tweeted.
Although Wyze didn’t break down how the import fee was calculated, $255,000 suggests the company is paying Trump’s 145% tariffs on Chinese imports. Last month, Trump imposed an extra 125% tariff on Chinese imports on top of 20% fees announced earlier this year.
Read the full article. Wyze’s post has over 9 million views at this writing and the cult is bombarding them with abuse and vows to boycott. Wyze makes “smart” bathroom scales and Ring-style home security systems. Whoever is running their X account is merrily jabbing back at their attackers.

Obviously we’d love to move our factories back home to Seattle. We just need to figure out to make the rain in Seattle power an assembly line.

We aren’t trying to be political at all, just sharing a story from the trenches.

I agree, let’s boycott all the companies that follow the law and pay tariffs.

We don’t buy random floodlights sweetpea we make a floodlight that we designed. It’s awesome. And we fully comitted this inventory to a retailer in February and it has to get to them in May for a promo they are running in June. I’m sure they will be totally fine when we call and…

Not a chance right now. Eventually that would be amazing, but the entire supply chain needs to move to the US. It’s way bigger than just us. All the chips and materials need to move. It’s not just moving a factory, the whole neighborhood has to come.

You know what you’re right, we’ll move all our families somewhere else. Where to?
