Our community has rated this post as helpful. If you agree, why not thank bdanka50

Read reviews on this before buying it! It's NOT a new device. It has its pros and cons. It may or may not be for you.

There aren't many devices like it or in it's "league", with Android and wide-screen and OLED for under $100...but that doesn't mean it's the one to get necessarily.

So yeah - read reviews on it!

Given the current tariff policies, do I need to pay import duties when purchasing this product, or is it exempt from tariffs?

The de minimus cutoff date is May 2. Make sure it ships into the country by that date and you're exempt.

Based on discussions on r/aliexpress, choice items should arrive before de minimis deadline if ordered before April 24th, assuming nothing changes

It has to clear customs prior to that date. If your package gets pulled aside for random additional checks, your not gonna make it. One of my packages is going on a full week+ in customs. If your package doesn't pass through on May 1st or earlier, then your SOL. The de minimis ends at 12:01am on May 2nd.

I'd recommend you head over to the SBCGaming subreddit, where you'll find a lot of discussion on this topic. There's regular in the sub called CrownPuff (who also has his own sub, CrownPuffDeals and a spreadsheet where he collates the absolute lowest prices on each handheld console). He's very knowledgeable and seems to have info that April 24th will be the cutoff date for the Ali shipping logistics partner to get stuff in to the US prior to the $800 de minimis exemption going away (this is a separate thing to all of the ever changing tariffs).on May 2nd.

So if that information is correct, you've got a few days to do your research on which handheld to pick up and find the best deal. The current AliExpress sale wasn't planned for, unlike many of their big sales. The next big sale was scheduled for April 22nd but they've quickly put this sale together as the scheduled one wouldn't for the most part meet the cutoff date.

This emulates very old console systems and is limited to that and Android games. x86 Handhelds have far more performance, can do the same and can play modern PC games. Though I wouldnt buy the Legion Go specifically, as there are better x86 handhelds.

I'm sure the policy will change 17 times before that date.

Do you mean gaming handheld? Or piece of software? And emulator for a specific console? Either way the answer is going to come down to what your specific needs and preferences are.
