    Strangely worded. “Tariff fears” sounds like something uncertain but the tariffs are in effect. They have to pay 15% tariffs right now so they’ll pass part of that on. The 50$ increase doesn’t even cover it.

      They already substantially increased the price in the EU a couple months ago, as they didn’t want to offend their US customer base… so that’s where the remaining amount is coming from (+ probably making even more profit).
