The Lowdown
With the election of Donald Trump tariffs are now back on the table in the United States. An issue with this is that some Americans are under the false idea or impression that tariffs are paid by the exporter of an item.

As Tax Foundation notes tariffs are paid by the importer. Tariffs also expose an economy to reduced quantities of good and services and lend unfair competition to foreign exporters.
