Are the toroids from Arrow marked "Made in Netherlands" or
"Made in China". If the latter, I don't understand why
they are exempt from tariffs just because they were
"laundered" through the Netherlands. Can someone explain this?

I just bought 12 #43 toroids from Arrow Electronics, partly for
research, but mostly to get free shipping on a small order. They shipped
from the Netherlands, possibly to avoid tariffs. It is my understanding
that this tactic is rather widely used. Bottom line -- if you're buying
stuff like this, it's worth shopping around, especially with vendors
with significant world-wide presence. I've found Arrow to be a
particularly good vendor for relatively small purchases -- free shipping
for web orders over $50 for anything in stock.
