[[Tariffs]] are paid by the '''[[import]]er''', '''not''' by the [[export]]ing country. Then passed on by wholesalers and retailers ultimately to the end [[consumer]]. The [[money]] '''''does not''''' come "into the country" from outside. It is rechanneled from consumers to the [[US government]]. It is in effect a sales tax.

IOWs, an exporting country presents a bill to the American purchaser. Before the purchaser's bank can transfer the funds out of the country to pay the bill, the bank must tack on a tariff or sales tax to the purchaser's account. The bank then transfers the sales tax or [[tariff]] to the [[US Treasury]], the finally the remaining payment amount to a foreign bank.
