So it gets put into another thing that gets put into another thing. So engines are another example of this. They start out as an engine block. They keep getting more stuff added to them. There is a little buried provision in both of the Canada and Mexico executive orders, not to get too wonky on you, that is barring what we call duty drawback.

This is a system that effectively allows importers to not pay duties if they're exporting the same thing they just imported. So let's say you import an avocado, you make guacamole, you put that in a container and you export the guacamole. You can actually get a refund on the tariff you paid on the avocado. We call that duty drawback.

Makes perfect sense because it's not actually entering the United States for consumption. You're actually just processing it. And we want to get that processing value, right? So that's normal.

Yeah. And you know, I'm all sanitized. So we have this question of compounding tariffs. So if you go back to the automotive example, You could have a good that gets a tariff as its starting point, gets incorporated into something, crosses again, gets another tariff, crosses again, gets another tariff.

By the end of it, you actually – because your tariffs apply – this is, sorry, really wonky – to the gross value of the product. That means – They don't apply to just the value you've added to a product in a certain place. So let's go back to our guacamole example. Even though the guacamole part of it is only half of the – avocado is half of the cost. The guacamole is the half of the cost.
