We wrote about Trump Tariffs in November 2025. We made a post stating that we take responsibility. Just recently, it was announced that NZPost awaits further clarification of the latest developments from the Trump administration.

As it is, the US Supreme Court provided clarification of the legality of the previous tariffs. There is no need for us to start having a tantrum, because very little has changed to date.

The Smith Family Soapmakers await further clarification via NZPost about what to do next. NZPost await a further Trump Executive Order to be published in the White House.
