As a fan of the Brighton and Hove Albion Seagulls of the English Premier League, I am a member of a reddit community of fans. This morning, I found this post on the board:
I bought a Brighton jersey and paid for shipping. I live in the United Stares. Upon arrival I was asked to pay $102 in Customs Fees, aka Trump’s tariff. (Thank you, idiot President.)
Has anyone else experienced this?
Is there a store in the United States where I could order official Brighton jerseys?
(Can I move to the UK instead?)
What followed were 17 comments detailing the tariff issues of others, mostly those trying to buy Brighton jerseys and other gear.
The bad news is slowly trickling down to the strangest of places.
