If you run, you've got mine, and the maximum allowable campaign contribution as well.
This despite the fact that normally, I'm philosophically opposed to voting for anyone, and it's pretty dog-gone rare that I'll grease the gears of the political machine with my money.
Now that I have two voters, I am going to heed your thoughts and gracefully return to the deeming regs - except that I don't know anything.
Uh @CMD-Ky , "I don't know anything" is still 100% a campaign promise/pledge. LOL I hate to be the one to break it to you, but you have just won your first seat in the primaries.
I don't know anything about deeming either, so I'll be happy to be the Sarah Palin to your McCain, because I am also secretly insane, just like she was. But to return to deeming, I solemnly pledge to actually look up the definition of that word, because I'm not quite sure I know the EXACT definition of it, despite my blathering on (at length) on this thread for quite some time.
Honesty. I'm going to have to get rid of that trait, also. LOL.

Ok. Noting with you, just giving you my
and expressing how I feel about exercising a precious right whether or not you place a mark next to a candidate or not. I mean, why not write in someone you think could do a better job even if they are not running? I've done that, lol. Wrote in my own name or someone I knew that I thought would do a better job.
I have not missed a single Presidential election since I turned 18 decades ago, but if the only candidate I could vote for was a "write in" that no one else would even know about, or a fictitious character, then why in the hell would I waste my time waiting in line to cast a useless ballot? Just to say I did? Sorry I have better things to do with my time.
I vote every election too. I wont vote if I have no clue who the candidates are. Does anyone know who the Land Commissioner for the 4th region of the 2nd district of East Juhbip county is? Do you even know what the job is? I don't so I wont vote for it. But where I do know the position and candidates I will vote. If they both suck then I go with the non-incumbent. If they're both non-incumbents then I flip a coin. But I wont write in Mickey Mouse because that is a waste of time and no one gives a crap about my protest (not to mention no one knows I voted for Mickey Mouse except maybe the Russians).
In primaries, unless I know and agree with a person's voting record, I vote for a new-comer exercising my "Re-elect No One" general philosophy. I do a lot of nose holding in the general.
First there was Deeming...and its possible effects on e-cig prices...now there's Tariffs...
Tariffs on Chinese goods could batter the U.S. vaping industry

I'm not a fair weather vaper. It's about time someone stood up to our trading partners. We have been getting it up the caboose for decades...something people from all sides of the political spectrum knows. The war had already been lost. And now we have nothing to lose while our trading partners have everything to lose. We're in a good position. We just need to be patient. The dividend will be huge for many years.First there was Deeming...and its possible effects on e-cig prices...now there's Tariffs...

Besides, the only vape gear Jackie and I purchase from outside the United States is coils. 
Start making them here... Probably cost more (same as with tariffs) but the quality would be better and we'd be putting food on the table for our own people. Or..... these other countries can start playing fair. Trump offered the EU 0% tariffs if they did the same, what's wrong with that?

I have never voted once in my life. Mainly because I would need to trust the person I vote for, and have yet to see one that even seems trustworthy. I am confident I will never see that in my lifetime. Except CMD-Ky, that might get me to register.
How will the tariffs be handled with goods ordered by individuals, direct from China, say from FT?
Does customs stop the package and send you a bill, or does FT tack on the charge?
I know every package I get from them is marked with a $20 value.

I believe they just increase the price of the items by X%. It may also be added on during checkout after you select your county.
I still find myself undepressed by the fact that tariffs may mean that my literally could be granddaughter will be making my mod for me. Of course, tariffs don't necessarily MEAN that, either, like there is no predicting what a Communist government will do. So, I'm not opposed to China tariffs frankly, but it would be nice if China were to specify at least a LITTLE bit what they plan to do with that money.
AND EVEN MORE SO do I see a big ol' "One World Government" being less good for each and every country, overall.
Globalism is the Walmart of like, countries, and they are all Walmarted ENOUGH. I am a fan of borders well, because they give people options, and the more power that is concentrated in ENOUGH hands, the more "the same" everything gets. I mean, my biggest issue with Trump is like he is infatuated with the color gold. I find it really tacky and he could even more Demonstrate his Power, Wealth, and Opulence.
But clearly, we have different tastes including decorative tastes, it's just like I kind of like knowing there is a consistently like crazy and ongoing debate among countries and whatever, but like, that is also a fact of EVER society, so I'm not so sure that just making it One Grand World would be like oh so awesome either.
Also why I like the states, yeah, I consider some of them to SUCK but I also appreciate the variety.
The smart thing to do in this instance would be to support US VAPEMAKERS, not even US importers as they will be tariffing too. I think the idea is to create a state of equality between countries and whatever, and I don't know how it would all go down, but there were some GREAT US vapor manufacturers and they got well, edged out of the market some of them and I would like to see it BLOOM here, too.
Tariffs are one means of achieving that and it may not be the ONLY way, but I am a firm believer in American Businesses and the situation is so UNWINNABLE at the moment (on the backs of Chinese children, for the most part) I have NO ISSUE with fair trade and labor and I remember life where like, more manufacturing took place ALL over not concentrated in India and China and yeah they've gotten good at the craft but there's a lot of human violations that go along with it and if you don't KNOW that or even THINK about that sometimes? Well, you should.
I also don't think the fifties were terrible and the idea of a family moderately wealthy on ONE income, not you know, three or three and a half, well okay, I might have LOVED that situation. It wasn't so much feminism that started THAT either more war and geopolitical forces.
And for every social ill, there is a similar overcompensatory social ill that leans too far the other way. We should not HAVE to be paying illegals and other "lower status" people to raise our kids.... Not unless we WANT. You couldn't have PAID me enough to go back to work until my kiddo was K ready, and I did a lot of maid work to support it, and I could bring him along and I still 100% believe that my decision to do that had more impact on society than most things I have done. I also, living where I did, got to deal with a lot of illegal nannies from Mexico caring for congresspersons like, kids, and it was DISGUSTING how these women did NOT want to sponsor them, or bring the kids over, surely for tax purposes but ALSO they did not want their kiddos to like, mingle with the nanny kids.. As if learning Spanish is a bad thing, or whatever.
But who knows, I'm rambling.

The business I own exports a goodly amount of product to other parts of the world. It is not the seller's responsibility to collect another country's tariffs (or VAT, or any other taxes). It is always the responsibility of the "importer of record" to pay them, and in the case you describe, that is you. So yes, it would be USPS and customs holding the package until you pay. If the package is coming via a courier (such as UPS, FedEx, or DHL) and you have an account with them, they will arrange clearance and bill you.
Incidentally, lying about the nature or value of the product on a customs declaration (as you've implied FT does) is quite dangerous for a volume seller like FT. They do it in the hope that customs won't bother with such low volume packages at all, but if customs concludes that they're doing this regularly, they could very well put a full stop to all packages coming from that seller.
