ELI5 smuggling a Switch2 over the Mexico or Canadian border. Not that I would recommend that or anything. For science. And fanfic.
You have always been able to smuggle goods across borders. It's also always been illegal if you get caught.
People still do it, typically fags and booze as they have high taxes on them.
Que?
Me llama Han Solo y quiero jugar videojuegos de Switch2. Además, no me gusta pagar Trumpiffs. Theoretically.
Put it in your butt
Is this global or just USA?
I think it's just USA. Nowhere else has introduced new tariffs for stuff from Japan to my knowledge.
Edit: Another article that clarifies it is just the US.
Here is the full statement Nintendo sent GameSpot on April 4:
"Pre-orders for Nintendo Switch 2 in the U.S. will not start April 9, 2025 in order to assess the potential impact of tariffs and evolving market conditions. Nintendo will update timing at a later date. The launch date of June 5, 2025 is unchanged."
