When CEOs say if they have to pay taxes they’ll just raise prices instead of selling their 5th house people freak out.
When CEOs say they’ll just raise prices if their industry is regulated instead of lowering their multi million dollar salaries, people freak out.
But when they say the exact same thing with tariffs, everyone just goes along with it.
Its the same thing. Corporations shouldn’t be able to punish people to avoid making slightly less money.
My understanding is the importer pays the tariff to the border force. The seller is not involved in the transaction.
Your suggestion would be for an exporter to give Americans a cheaper price than everyone else based on something that happens following the sale.
Edit: happy to have it explained to me how I’m wrong if I am, I’m not gonna pretend I’ve got a perfect knowledge of how the American border works
