Duh.

Are you a licensed importer? Registered import business? THOSE are the entities who pay tariffs, not individual mail-order buyers. Tariffs are industrial-scale charges, not end-user-sale items.

It will be end user on both sides of the border that will be paying and we will all hurt

It will be like the old days of prohabition exept it will be melting down empty cans in the back yard furnace & running the ingots across the border in a souped up dodge

Exactly!

Where tariffs get us is when those importers have to pay them, the prices of the goods go up. They need to recover their money. So, eventually it gets to the consumer. But the basic end user consumer doesn’t pay the actual tariff! Sort of…

Anyone that questions the need for the US to match the tariffs of our trading partners needs to take a drive through the former industrial cites of the Midwest.
You will see that we are in worse shape than the countries we are sending our $$$$$ to “help”.
