I typically order small batches of PCBs from JLC PCB or PCB Way. Now that the de minimus exemption for imports from China has been suspended, that is probably going to get slower and more complicated. What are some good alternatives?

Following… I got my start ordering from Advanced Circuits, and sometimes from OSHPark.
Only recently discovered both the companies you mentioned. TBH I don’t know what the tariffs will be but the prices they offer is like 10% the cost of American suppliers and basically just as fast. Hopefully an American company can compete, but I’m doubtful.
Even if the tariff were 200%, these companies would still probably be cost effective. I am more concerned about the US government's ability to ramp up its system of collection to process the volume of small packages coming in. Six month administrative delays wouldn't surprise me, in the near term.
