8BitDo no longer shipping to US from China due to Trump tariffs


The move is temporary, however

Gaming controller and peripheral company 8BitDo is suspending shipments from its Chinese warehouse to United States-based customers, per a notice on its website. There doesn’t appear to be any way to tell what’s available at the U.S. warehouse on the website itself, but the checkout page — after inputting an address — will display what products in the cart can’t be shipped to the U.S. That’s because video game consoles and accessories are classified by the U.S. International Trade Commission as toys, not technology.
