  • In 2018, Bobby Djavaheri feared his family's appliance business faced an existential threat from the Trump administration's tariffs on Chinese air fryers.

The article from KWWL discusses the challenges businesses face in navigating the U.S. tariff system under the Trump administration, particularly focusing on the exemptions process for tariffs imposed on Chinese goods. It highlights how the system, intended to provide relief for companies affected by these tariffs, has become convoluted and susceptible to corruption. Businesses have encountered significant delays, with some exemption requests taking months to process, leading to increased costs and operational difficulties. The piece also notes instances where companies have allegedly manipulated the system by claiming exemptions for products not actually imported, pointing to potential abuse and corruption. Furthermore, the article mentions that while some businesses have managed to secure exemptions, the overall process lacks transparency and efficiency, making it a cumbersome ordeal for many, especially smaller enterprises. This situation has led to calls for reform to streamline the exemption process and reduce the opportunities for corrupt practices.
