Hololive Vtuber Merchandise Prices Hit by Trump Tariffs

Hololive Vtuber fans online started sharing receipts showing how tariffs applied by US President Donald Trump affected merchandise costs, and Myth member Calliope Mori even spoke about the situation. Geek Jack, a company for selling merchandise based on the performers, also announced it is suspending US orders with Chinese products affected by those duties.

One of the most notable reports came from StarlightIdol on social media, as that’s one that prompted Hololive Vtuber Calliope Mori to show up in the replies and comment on the Trump tariffs effect on merchandise. The individual was going tp purchase the Calliope’s Birthday Celebration 2025 $80 Underworld University Sweater and  Eliabeth Rose Bloodflame Birthday Celebration 2025 $30 Lit Top Innit t-shirt. Before the new duties, the price with shipping and taxes would have been $155.12. After the new $201.17 Trump tariffs, the price jumped to $356.29. Calliope then showed up to apologize and express that all she wanted was for fans to enjoy her music and streams.

Here’s that exchange:

Mistfist on social media shared the cost of the $100 complete set of Fuwamoco 1 Million Subscribers Celebration items. That is normally $100 in the story, with $42.57 shipping and $8.55 in taxes. The Trump tariffs on their own ended up being $190.41, bringing the overall cost to $341.53. 

As for Geek Jack, it announced it is temporarily holding orders people in the US. This only applies to ones that would include items made in China. People who would still want those orders and be okay with paying the Trump tariff could contact the company directly with their order number to get it sent. However, those willing to wait won’t incur any additional fees. 

This is one of many effects of the US Trump tariffs inflicted on China and countries worldwide. Square Enix and Good Smile Company paused pre-orders. Also, we saw the cost of the Xbox Series X consoles and controllers go up.
