Hey All
We at Wiki Project Med have paused further shipping of IIAB to the USA due to tariff processes. We were getting about 80 US orders for IIAB per month. We continue to ship to the rest of the world.
Basically we charged about 20 USD for assembly, managing postage, and shipping resulting in a total cost of 63 USD per unit. Wondering if there are folks in the USA interested in getting involved and managing that aspect?
The boards come from the UK which sounds like it is tariff free but the uSD cards come from China which is at 55% tariffs. So we are still at the investigative stages on what makes sense.

I'm interested in getting more involved, and working with anyone else who wants to. We have local suppliers of microSD cards that seem fine.

How is this build work coming? The tariffs are only getting higher... I know some of the stock has made it to Boston.
a) I'd love to have multiple people trained in how to do this in the US (and worldwide) at least in SF and Bostoni b) I'd like to see new design proposals for a custom box, that we could get made in bulk (at these volumes, the cost should not be significant) c) I know a couple colleagues who have students that might want to help with IIAB development and testing, perhaps we could list potential projects / first-time github issues on meta https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/IIAB.

I am in Plano, Texas and I have set up IIAB on old machines or portable devices. If anyone needs assistance, I can set up or provide training globally.
