"If it's at an $80 panda from $32, then that makes a big difference," she said. "People aren't going to want to pay that.

“For a time”

How long will it take to bring toy manufacturing back to the US?
Five to ten years.
They may compete with tariff prices but will never produce toys at what we pay now.

'Two dolls instead of 30': Trump acknowledges prices will force consumers to cut back

Donald Trump, who has argued that China will bear the brunt of his tariffs, acknowledged the duties may mean fewer, more expensive products.

That's what happens when Daddy says you can't use the credit card anymore. The children (and you know who you are) squeal and complain.

The formula for the retail price of a product, comes from the item's total LANDED cost in the USA. The LANDED cost of the item bought, includes materials, labor and manufacturing costs, AND any taxes, duties, tariffs, fees to LAND the product on USA soil.... That is the items total cost, then the retailer uses it's planned mark up % to make them profitable... determining the Retail price the consumer pays.
