    It’s just another example of their incompetence.

    They ought to be proud of labeling the tariffed products, so that customers could easier choose the domestic brands, which supposedly is the point of having the tariffs in the first place.

    Attempting to hide it only shows that they realize how bad the tariffs really are.

      Tariffs are advertised as helping domestic companies.

      In actuality, they directly hurt foreign companies and the hope is that the unhurt domestics will then flourish.

      If the tariffs collected were used to simulate domestic companies, this would actually be possibly beneficial to the economy.

      However those tariffs are being pocketed by the rich (through tax cuts and money laundering through contracts and crypto).

      These should not be listed as tariffs costs, they should be listed for what it is: “amount Trump’s administration decided to steal from you based on your spending habits”
