Gaming Controller and Peripheral Company 8bitdo exposes programs from his Chinese warehouse to the customers based in the USA. According to a message on his website. The temporary break for programs in the USA is due to the new 145% tariff of the Trump government for imports from China and the decision de minimis Exceptions for programs from China below 800 US dollars. The tariffs already panic the video game and the tabletop industry, with several other companies, such as the Gaming Handheld manufacturer in Mbernic, also set shipments in the USA.

US customers can still order controllers, mice and other peripheral devices that are already in the company's US warehouse. There seems to be no way to say what is available in the US warehouse on the website itself

Polygon has made 8Bitdo for more information.

Correction: An earlier version of this story mischieved which consoles are compatible with 8 -Bitdo controllers.
