Ken - there are additional orders which go into much more detail than provided by the fact sheets.? While China appears to be the first country to have the de minimis exclusion removed, other countries are also being prepped for removal.? It's outlined in the EOs and the logistics world is already preparing for additional processing from additional vountrirs.? It appears that India is one of the countries in the proverbial target zone.? While this doesn't yet fit your desire to only hear "what is", it does support my earlier point that once a threshold is crossed, it's much easier for the kudzu to spread.

I hope the de minimis exclusion remains for imports from India.? In this current environment, however, I wouldn't bet against it.

A technical term from a lifetime in uniform rears it's ugly head yet again: BOHICA.
