Current Tariffs for souvenirs - OR- will my Belgium chocolate get taxed???

I have been attempting research on this topic, but find conflicting answers, and as we know, the policy seems fluid. I'm aware of the Supreme Court decision, but unsure of the effects of the Executive Order. I'm also unsure if the $800 personal allowance is in place .
So- for those who have returned from Europe recently, did you have any issues, did you have to pay any tariffs? We will be traveling soon.
Thanks so much.

Hi Pat—You’ll be fine. Tariffs apply to items being shipped commercially, not to personal goods carried in your luggage.

More importantly, can you fit $800 worth of chocolate in your suitcase? :-)

Have you seen the price of chocolate recently? The Costco Easter Bunny is $15 per pound.

I suspect $800 of fine Belgian chocolate would be doable.( you decide if that's the good news or bad news)
