Can’t help you on the tariff question, but on the subject of buying the parts there was already a discussion on that a while back [here](http://community.frame.work/t/can-i-build-the-laptop-out-of-parts-other-questions-and-parts-list-included/13741). I think the idea of building your own laptop from parts won’t be the better economical option until you can start looking at used parts, as I’m sure Framework would have tried to offer DIYers a true DIY laptop if it wasn’t easier for them to put most of it together before it is shipped. It would be interesting in the future if you could buy parts off of other users who have upgraded to newer parts and build your own laptop out of hand-me-downs!
