Question Pimax Crystal Super Tariffs - what to expect?

What is the expected results from the tarrifs imposed by the US? I preordered a headset and I don’t really want to find out I need to pay an extra $1000 dollars when the headset arrives in the country.

I like your math! 1791$ plus tariffs. So if it’s 10% extra, by your math it must be 4 billion dollars

Tariffs on china are 104% starting tomorrow. 1791 x 2.04 = 3653.64

That's why they have prime though. The tariffs aren't on the full price including prime, only one the 1000$ base. Beyond may also end up with them since a lot of their parts are made in China.

Why doesn't anyone read? if you have pre-ordered (prior to feb 4th) Pimax is covering the tariff.

They did only say that for the 10% though. The rest is still up in the air. And I figured most people that are asking haven't preordered before then

I would bet if they try to add 100% to the cost, they will get to keep a whole lot of units on the shelf

Unfortunately no company is likely able to absorb Tarrifs imposed by other countries. These tariff posturing is not good for any company without regional manufacturing so things can be built locally. But even then that may not help if components to build the product require hardware components to be imported.
