If consumer electronics products aren't subject to tariff but all of the components that go into one are subject to tariff, is a do-it-yourself electronics kit 'finished' enough to not be subject to the tariff? What if the kit is shipped in a final assembled state?

The standard is known as "substantially transformed", and the ruling is done by US Customs Service on a case-by-case basis. It is unpredictable and difficult. In my experience, DIY kits does not count as substantial transformation. Final assembled state typ. substantial.

One of the worst ideas in recent years. It really makes no sense. Just read the list. Hardware costs are always sensitive, and my client's will flip if told a 25% increase was coming. Luckily we are spared, but then again, I'm already paying a premium via shipping costs

Maybe makers and educators won't vote for Trump in future?

...but aren’t the components obtained by adafruit to sell to us subject to the 25% tariff as well, so they’ll have to increase their prices also? I don’t see an upside to this.

by taxing electronic components, but not assembled items it will also push more American manufacturing off-shore

Yeah, this really confused me - a very strange move.
