No, China or Mexico or a foreign nation do not pay tariffs. Tariffs are paid at the U.S. border to the U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) by the importer of record, which is usually a U.S. company or a customs broker acting on their behalf. These costs invariably make their way to the average American’s cart, receipt, or budget.
Libertarians don’t celebrate when government revenues spike. They ask: Whose wallet, and whose freedom, paid for it?
