    To expand. Let’s say a pedals raw BOM* cost is $30.
    Plus old tarrifs = $30.02.
    Plus new tarrifs = $42.80.

      Oh right 👍. Yeah that makes a lot more sense.

      For a second I thought they were making obscene profits from 2 cent child labour pedals. No no, this makes way more sense 😁.
