Steep price increase on guns ahead?

[EANx]

So, as it appears there will be big tariffs (~25%) on imports from Europe soon, does that mean the prices on the Echelon, Hellcat, XD, XD-M (all made in Kroatia) and so on will jump in price?

Asking for a friend.

The gun/ammo market is way down now and will be for the foreseeable future so I don't see any unusual increases because the vendors here are hard pressed to move product.

The overseas manufacturers will have to eat any tariff-related increases, as well as the importers.

Uh, that’s not how tariffs work.

They get passed on to the buyer.

 

[SimonRL]

So are we thinking I should go back and pick up the Mk23 I was just looking at? What about the USP Elite in .45?

You'd better get both just to be safe.

Technically they get passed on to the importing company. If the market bears an increase it goes up.

or the manufacturing country eats the the tariff.

The Chicoms did that during Trump 1.0 & Biden kept the Trump tariffs in place.

Not if you don't buy the product.

 

[Grayfox]

Should be a boon for U.S. manufacturers. That's really what tariffs are all about.

 

[BassCliff]

Hi,

I think I have all the guns I need anyway.

Thank you for your indulgence,

The tariff discussion often omits the "Reciprocal" part of the current EO.
If the EU drops their tariff on US ammo and firearms to zero, then ours would also drop to zero (eventually)
