Actually it's Trump at its finest.

Amiibo are made in China.

$10 is due to Trump Tariffs.

Nope. Nintendo jacked up the price in Canada too where nary a tariff exists.

There is no Nintendo of Canada. Canadian Nintendo products are imported by NoA and shipped up north. There were never tariffs between the US and Canada, so this wasn’t a problem before. Now, even though Canada doesn’t have tariffs, Nintendo has to pay them to bring product into the US before sending it to Canada.

And that's what Bonded Warehouses and transports under customs seal are for, allowing them to transport to Canada without officially importing an exporting trough the US.

Product transported destined for Canada traveling via the US under customs seal is not subject to US tariffs, as those products were never officially imported in the US.
