I think you're being very charitable in the way you put it, that it “hasn't yet materialized” for importers right now. It took an average of 34 days to resolve an importer's request. Sometimes these are small businesses, in the middle of a tariff war, who are putting food on the table. They're ma-and-pa businesses, we might say. It took 34 days. That could be 34 days with respect to a question or with respect to a form, but it could be 34 days that goods are simply waiting at the border.
Is there a way to determine the cost to our economy? I would imagine that it's a profound cost to our economy when we're looking at these things.
