Don't know what it is selling for here. According to FRED average zuS prices are at $1.20 lb.

12% of the market is Italian imports.

Actually thr price shouldn't double because the tariffs are on the price paid by the importer. This will be lower than retail. I have no idea what the mark up is.

I'd have to go shopping to get you prices. Alternately, check prices online. Might need a VPN to get U.S. results. usonian Tuesday #8
