    It depends on if it is something like a powder that comes raw in a 200 lb jar and you package it yourself into small containers.

      Yes, then you only pay tariff for the powder, for the big jar, and the transpacific shipping of the big jar. That’s what I meant by “as far as it was packaged in China”.

        Yes, I was agreeing with you. But especially to say that the bulk powder from China can be incredibly cheap, so for a lot of goods the 20$ bottle won’t be affected that much by tariffs even if they’re at 150%. It’s the type of thing with a lot of goods where you can look it up and the bulk amount is cheap but then you have to deal with an entire pallet of something you only need like 5 times ever. So buying the small relatively expensive bottle is still better, and with a wild guess it could only be like 1-4 dollars per bottle more.
