So after I read Dave's post, It struck me, Do we do this for ouselves or for an audience? As a hobbyist I like to think I do it for some type of self satisfaction, but on the other hand it is nice to...

Hi traumamed, thanks for adding the rest of that articles statement - I didn't mean just fireworks I meant the whole shebang. Since my shows are all by volunteers or enthusiiasts, I don't get into...

I recently saw an article from the Cedar Boat Club, cancelling their fireworks display for this year because of skyrocketing prices. Anyone here experiencing that problem?

Nice, thanks!

Perhaps a goodtime for buyers to get a deal on all those stuffed warehouses???

Well Time will tell PyroFl. So I won't mention the name of the supplier, but I recently read that they suspended all orders from China, but on the same token while the high tariff were in place they...

Why not, lol.

As far as us as consumers, probably our best bet would be to start writing to the NFA, APA plus the major importers to look into alternatives for us. Pserhaps in the past they have checked in on this...

If I'm not mistaked, and I hope someone here can clarify, but aren't there some goofy rules about importing fireworks from other countries to the US. I thought I remember someone saying our customs...

Agreed BMoore. I have not shot any Mexican fireworks but have watched a few go off, not in the least impressed, I don't know about dangerous but I will agree on your expertise.
I have seen videos...

Thanks Dave! and where did you get that Roman candle setup?

Anway, basically what you said, very correct. The sad part, is that if all of these tariffs don't go away soon the whole economy will...

Not meaning this is a political way, but perhaps the APA and NFA should write a letter telling trump that if he wants to have fireworks for his birthday parade, he better remove the tarrifs.

Nice vid Dave.

I like Birdman refrain from the politics, I only wonder if you took that guy from the video and 5 others from China, plus 6 people off the street of the US, put them all in a room,...

I hpoe it works! I don't hear China backing down on anything, and with that trump is threatening an addition 50% to make it a 109% tarrif.

So affter last nights tariffs -- I am reading a 34% tariff increase some are saying that is added to the exicting tariff of 20% making it a 54% total tariff, what'sthe truth?
One artile: "However,...

Well stated BMoore!!!

I few years ago I was really impressed with some 200g cakes at least compared to some 500g, I remember wondering for the price I should have gone with all 200g cakes.
The...

So I see their prices look good, and free shipping on orders over 1500.oo
Cons I'm not seeing any 1.4 and
Due to legal restrictions, Kaboom LLC cannot ship fireworks to customers in the following...

Another 10% tariff increase next week for China?? Is that what I'm reading?

Well we might not have to worry about the ATF, it may soon be abloished.

Thanks for keeping us updated Dave!!!!

Nice articles on how money is moved around on paper, and if this happens that happens and so on. But the article doesn't say who is going to build the factories to make products that Americans can...

I also agree with you. And I really don't want to carry this on but still a lot of people believe the tarriff is paid by the other country, I really just wanted to keep the point that we pay it not...

I'm sorry BMoore, your only diluting the final percentage so let's make it 3000 or 4000 markup, and that takes the increase down and down again - it's still going to add 100 bucks to the intial cost...

While I understand what you are trying to say - no matter what other charges you are talking about - if you purchased a shell at a dollar it gets taxed at 10% -- shipping and other fees are already...

Well, so after 40 years of using tarriffis to protect Harley it is still facing financial troubles and Honda is doing well. So really what is the effect? I'm not saying that tarriffs don't work but...
