Well, I had steel myself for a doubling of board cost so I think I’ll survive.

This is the probably the first time ever I've been glad to be doing this hobby from New Zealand.

That actually makes sense.
“Dude, what the fuck are you doing?! Same team!”
I have a BIG flanger pre-order coming up so I’ll see how that large pick and place order fares.

Important Notice: Logistics Policy Updates due to the US's tariff on China
Due to the fluctuating customs duty rate, JLCPCB has made adjustments on our logistics policy. Check this article to see more detailed updates.
Important Notice: Logistics Policy Updates due to the US’s tariff on China
Apr 24, 2025
US Tariff Timeline:
- February 4, 2025: U.S. President Donald Trump imposed 10% tariffs on all Chinese imports
- March 3, 2025: The US levied an additional 10% tariff on China, leading to a total of 20% tariffs
- April 5, 2025: The US's 10% reciprocal tariff went into effect and will impose 34% reciprocal tariffs on April 9
- April 9, 2025: The US increased the reciprocal tariffs from 34% to 84%
- April 10, 2025: The US again raised the reciprocal tariffs on Chinese goods to 125%
Due to the fluctuating customs duty rate (145%~175%), we will collect taxes from customers in advance based on the highest rate of 175%. After receiving the tax bill from the logistics provider, any excess will be refunded, and any shortfall will be charged accordingly.
The following adjustments have been made:
Effective from 20:20 on April 22nd(GMT+8), B2C customers placing orders destined for the United States are required to choose DDP when selecting the shipping method and prepay 175% of the order value as taxes.

Just as an addendum to the above post:
Going to partial SMD has changed things considerably for me.
Let’s say I do pay $10 for board on something like my new single board Electric Mistress flanger.
The only through hole components on there are the power supply electrolytics, regulators, some chips and the diodes.
For that application and many others, $10 each, while DEFINITELY more than I’ve been paying (and more than I want to continue to pay), is still worthwhile considering I might be closer to $15-$20 using a US fab house.
It’s all how you frame it in the context of a specific application and it also says nothing about some of the other consequences of the tariffs themselves.
But I’ll have to live with it for now.

I ordered boards last week from PCBWay which haven't arrived yet:
Of course, found a few missing components and tried to order an updated version of the same board today and this is what the checkout looks like.
Imagine the hit to small businesses across the country... murca.

I can confirm no Tariff charges when ordering to New Zealand, I imagine it's the same everywhere outside the US.

Are they at least assembling the boards for you, or does $31 just get you one empty 2" pcb?

Just PCBs. That's their cheapest "no touch PCB" service.

see what I’m saying? There is no stateside option.
170% tariffs and JLCPCB is still cheaper.
