Title: New Tariff Rates - Lower Tube Costs?
Post by HockessinKid on 02/23/26 at 13:57:54

New 15% tariff rates go into effect tomorrow for the next 180 days due to the recent SCOTUS decision. It will be interesting to see if there is some pricing relief for Russian & Chinese tubes.

Hopefully we'll see a drop, I'll be keeping my eye out for some new 2026 production Linlai and New Sensor Gold Lion offerings.

Ironically tariff rates with the UK, where I'm looking to buy tubes, have gone up a little. At least in theory. I suspect this will continue to be a moving target.

I agree James with the see saw of butt hurt and bluster tarrifs are likely to yo yo about over the next days, months. . . (and shudder) years. I have no idea what pricing of new production tubes will do. . . luckily i do not really need to be in the market.
