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

     Almost impossible. Profit margins are  very small,
and usually
come from the number of items sold. Massive numbers =
reasonable
profit.

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.

 I believe is some US/UK deal though probably mainly on cars which has been
waiting post Brexit for some sort of deal, ie it’s not new just not been on
either countries priorities, over last few years.
 Maybe something regarding creative industries UK does a fair bit with films
and so on.
 Agriculture the use of Hormones and similar products in meat products isn’t
something that UK or other countries are likely to lower their standards
for.
