Josh of Silca does a good job of explaining how the
tariffs are effecting
US companies certainly small ones, as ever it’s a moving

change.

Tagging the tariff surcharge seems like a smart business
move. It should reduce whining about profiteering, and help
put the blame where it belongs.

There is a possibility that the foriegn seller might have lowered the
price to absorb some of the tariff.

Almost impossible. Profit margins are very small, and usually
come from the number of items sold. Massive numbers = reasonable
profit.
I very much doubt the Chinese will pay the taxes. They might
INCREASE prices to compensate for less items sold. But the US is not a
big market if you look at the Global scene, so the increase will be
slight.

During the right-wing dictatorship, import tax was 200% on
anything, even medical supplies. Whiskey was tax-exempt, because our
minister of economy (Simonsen) was an alcoholic and he only drank
scotch.
On top of that there was (still is) the state taxes of ~20%.
These tariffs (taxes) were to "stimulate local industry".
It just made a lot of importers very, very rich (the military
exempted "the chosen ones" from paying tax).
PS Your article is outdated. Import tax is now 60%. Lula had
diminished it to 20% by decree, but that's only valid if congress
ratifies it. Bolsonaro has 90% of congress. He ordered them to reject
the decree.

You're making my point.
Arbitrary, inefficient, illogical and as you add rife with self dealing in all its many forms. USA and Brasil are not unique in all that- it's literally every nation.
