You pay tariffs once the product hits the port. If you don’t have the cash when they arrive to pay the tariffs (which you didn’t plan for because all this happened in weeks and not many budgets accounted for it) then they destroy your cargo at end of day and you have until then to pay up. It’s a 54% tariff on laptop hardware so you better be liquid.
My assumption is framework wasn’t. Their stock maybe got burned up at port. I’m just speculating though.
