Can DJI Beat the U.S. Drone Ban? BY Timothy Brazzel.

Meaning...if they built them here, they wouldn't have to pay tarrifs on the drones. The same way Toyota, Nissan, and other foreign based auto manufacturers who built factories here are not paying tariffs in what's built here.

Oh I understood but passed and past are two different words. You used the word passed in your post, so I was wondering if you actually meant to say passed or past, because the sentence would have a very different meaning, with each word.

Not exactly they are paying tariffs on parts and resources, they are just not paying a tariif on completed vehicles that are assembled here.

Every year countless bridges along the American Highway system Fail Basic safety inspections yet remain unfixed or simply "patched" because of lack of funding, Yet in recent years some of our states spent millions building "woke" bathrooms in their buildings.
We have no national Mental health program yet stand up and blame the politicians we hired or didn't when some nut enters a school.
We our critically short on controller's to man our air system and Our military likes to do night training in the flight paths of commercial airliners...(you know for safety).
Our educational system is a joke and I'm amazed most of the graduates here don't simply take their diplomas and simply keep walking right into traffic.
I could list SO many more BUT it seems to me Greenland keeps up with such thing and those are just a few of the reasons why they don't wanna move into our neighborhood.

Seems your comment has nothing to do with drones and everything to do with politics.

Thanks. I meant past. I guess I need to tweak the filter.

 

[Cymruflyer]

Naw, just use the correct word. I don't think filter tweaking would know what word you were trying to spell, since either of the words could have been used but meaning very different things in the sentence.

Yeah it's Greenland and for the record, I think the US should try to annex Greenland if they can. Obviously not take by force or against the citizens wishes but it would be a good deal it is could happen. Iceland, too but that's not on the table since they are basically a sovereign country. Totally against Canada; not cool.

Establish a second international Greenland hub similar to Anchorage and get the goods flowing to the East same way as the West. Don't know if the weather supports year round.

Wait, what? Annex a country not by force or against the citizens' wishes? How does that work?

To be more accurate, what I described is more akin to "buying" Greenland.

Maybe they'll think more about it before the Soviets come calling.....that's when force and against the citizens' wishes apply.

So... just rolling this train of thought out of the stock sheds of the mind... You'd be just as happy to see China annex Taiwan as an offshore industrial base?

The same argument excuses the Russian dicktator jumping all over the Crimea and then attempting to annex the Ukraine because it used to be part of the CCCP.

Though I have no faith in the Supreme Court,the tariffs were struck down by an appeals court.Small step.

That's under the one law which was used to impose broad tariffs, even though the law specifically doesn't mention tariffs.

There are other laws which could be used to invoke tariffs, as is the case with steel and aluminum tariffs, which is using a national security claim.

Same claim could be made against DJI since they are allegedly close to the Chinese military or the Communist Party.

Actual from what I read DJI turned down doing work for the Chinese military

That is depending on whether they "make" them or simply "assemble" them. If the parts are imported from China, they will still have tariff's assessed. That's what domestic automakers are facing.

 

[Rovi]

IMHO- Take good care of your existing DJI investment because DJI and all foreign made goods are going o be more expensive and harder to get. Switching to US manufacturing is much easier said than done. Even if DJI partners with existing US factories things will change and old product may become
incompatible or obsolete.
It's a good thing for our economy and manufacturing base but its also going to be very painful (read expensive) to get this done and it will take time for all to normalize.

Painful yes , good for the economy is very doubtful, more likely a downturn in most sectors

True, but since tariffs are assessed on the "cost" value of the item, not the sale value, the impact on final price of finished product is diminished.

This is why the price increases we see from say, a 10% tariff is less than 10% -- often far less. The tariff is assessed on the "cost" of the product not the price, so high-margin products can recoup the tariff cost with a much smaller increase in price, or in many cases manufacturers/distributors choose to simply absorb the tariff and keep prices steady, while still making a reasonable profit, to retain market.

Forecasting is an educated guessing game, but if a manufacturer forecasts a reduction in sales that reduces earnings more than absorbing the tariff cost without a loss of sales, they'll choose the latter.

This is how tariffs result in some government revenue at the expense of the supplier rather than costing the consumer more as an effective "tax". How tariffs affect prices and markets is far more complex than the simple picture painted by the idiots in the media.

All pricing is highly nuanced but tariffs raise costs whether it is passed on to the consumer is one thing but if it raises costs for the company and they do not pass it on. It has to come from some where, less imports. less r&D, less employees. They also do not help a business that does not exist, they may be helpful with one that is struggling.
They never come completely with out trade offs and costs. Look at the steel industry in the US, while the tariffs help a small number of employees making steel, the higher cost of buying steel effects so many more.
