If you’ve been charged a tariff

I ordered something to be made for a friend from an American company, but it was made in China. Their website had a big American flag on it, and they bragged about being based in the US, so I didn’t realize it was going to be made in China until long after I ordered it. It was in April, time sensitive, and I paid extra for a rush order. Then, no doubt due to the uncertainty of tariffs at the time (today they’re here, tomorrow they’re gone, today they’re bigger), they ended up delaying the shipping for around three weeks, long past the event we bought it for.

I believe we paid for the tariffs because they added large fees to the purchase, without specifying it was for the guess of what the tariff would be.
