China has agreed to drop tariffs against the US.

Everybody I know in the trades,self employed is backed up at least 90 days,I am consulting on a restaurant opening and it has taken over 5 months to get electricians,plumbers,A/C contractors etc. coordinated and it is not even a major project.

It depends.

Generally, when it comes to business transactions, they would be reflected in the costs at the beginning of the following year after being imposed, or whenever the commercial contracts are up for negotiation.

If a contract was negotiated prior to the tariffs being imposed, the cost to the end user would already be locked in and the supplier/vendor would be forced to eat up the expense.
