Tariffs apply when they arrive at port, not when you order. Yours might not ever show up because if they don’t pay the tariffs by EOD after arriving at port they get destroyed.

I think Weee probably already imported the Ramen and it’s in a warehouse, not being made to order. But it’s ok. I can probably afford the tax on ramen noodles. I’m partial to the spicy kimchi ones anyway so they’re probably South Korean. I also love the cheapest, finest shrimp flavored packets that are like $1 each. (I ate them as a kid so they’re a comfort food.) Those might even be made in America.
Also, Master P has a gumbo-flavored Ramen product and there’s always yaka mein. I live in New Orleans and those could be made here for all I know. (Yaka mein is definitely made here. It’s basically ramen noodles but with Creole New Orleans broth and seasoning. The legend is that Chinese laborers building the railroads introduced the concept of ramen to black laborers in New Orleans and a new, cheap dish was born. It was eventually marketed as a hangover cure and called “Old Sober” but it’s called yaka mein now.)
