at one point whitehouse.gov said that may 2nd would be the end of de minimis everywhere. It’s currently saying just got goods from china. The information seems to change by the hour.

Oh, nice. I had tried to find some clarification on when and for what countries, but all the articles I was finding just wanted to talk about retail from China.
I was focused on tomorrow as the day the big tariffs kick in, but I guess I missed that there might be a few extra weeks where under 800 could still be tariff free for goods from Thailand.
Who knows, if the Tayda site comes back up soon you might still get those in under the wire.

105% I think. Pretty sure the new 34 was on top of an existing 20 or 25
It's not that complex.
If your parts from China previously cost you $100 shipped, you now will be charged $100 by your vendor.
On import the US Gov will charge you a percentage the cost - so 34% tariffs mean your order goes up to $134 (plus normally an admin fee to whoever is collecting the tariff)
So if your business is running at say 50% mark up the cost of materials the cost to your customers goes from $200 to $268.
If the tariffs go up to 50% as the headline of BBC News suggest has been threatened that pedal goes up to $300....
You could soak up some of that raise, but you would expect tariffs on all imports to raise your cost of living at least in the short-medium term.
But this will effect everything in the market - so your pedal being $268 shouldn't be so bad as every other pedal will go up more - if anything fully Chinese made pedals will go up more...
So if you've got a good product, just price in the cost rises to your business model and it will be fine.
That's the non political version.
As Terry Pratchett wrote "There is a curse, may you live in interesting times" - it's all utter madness, as a set of billionaires set the world on fire in order to supposedly make more money, I really really really hope there's a plan that makes sense behind this crazy... 80 years of free trade that lifted half the world out of poverty... up in smoke...

I was going to ask what sites are USA-based where PCB printing is reasonably priced.

I agree. Tayda has been so wonderful. They don’t deserve this. I’m tempted to stick with them even though tariffs are high now.

Tayda site is up again and looks great. Mobile friendly. They remodeled it.

The look is great but think it needs some work still. The easy order section for 1% resistors has a little bit of everything in it. Like 5% and MLCC are in there.
Also looks like the price went from 1.5 to 2 cents each.

Although poking around, enclosures look to be the same cost as well as Tayda pots are still the same.

The don’t have a US location as far as I can tell. Tayda used a freight forwarder that was based in Colorado as their economy shipping option until 2022ish, at which point they changed their shipping to the options that they currently offer.
