Nah, I think what they're saying is that; at April 27 tarrifs added 2c to the cost of their pedals, but that will increase 640% to $12.80 later this year. It's worded weirdly and took me a while to get (if I do understand correctly), but i don't think it's a typo.
To expand. Let's say a pedals raw BOM* cost is $30.
Plus old tarrifs = $30.02.
Plus new tarrifs = $42.80.

Oh right 👍. Yeah that makes a lot more sense.
For a second I thought they were making obscene profits from 2 cent child labour pedals. No no, this makes way more sense 😁.
