How would one change the name Handeling to something else, ie: TARIFFS? Also we import products from different countries, so we have to pass on different Tariffs.

Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks, MICHAEL

Michael, you can search for the text string you want to change in vsadmin/inc/languagefile_en.php (or the appropriate language file for your site), and then override it by adding a line in vsadmin/includes.php, like this:

$xxShipHa = 'Tariff Fee';

It may take some trial and error to ensure you've updated every instance of the text that appears during checkout.

That said, after some consideration we've decided against displaying those cost increases as a “Tariff Fee” in the cart.

Tariffs have become a politically sensitive topic, and drawing attention to them at checkout could increase cart abandonment for some buyers.

Today I saw an article where Mark Cuban explains that US businesses have been stockpiling imported goods now to avoid expected tariff hikes.

To stockpile those goods, they're either burning through cash or taking on debt - moves that haven’t yet translated into higher consumer prices.

Cuban suggests that with uncertainty about which tariffs will actually stick, rising borrowing costs, and other challenges, both inflation and the broader economy are entering unstable territory.

Our company is stockpiling those few imported components we can't do without. This impacts our cash reserves, and here in Texas will translate to a much bigger inventory tax bill at the end of the year.
