US companies certainly small ones, as ever it’s a moving

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.

Agricultural goods is politically a very hot potato, especially for France.

 
Yes, I know...  and the USA has the capability to export more
agricultural products and would like to see those tariffs removed or
lowered.

Nearly every country wants to protect her agricultural
sector (= farmer votes).  Trouble is, not every country can
expand exports while curtailing imports.

Many of the USA's manufactured products have been moved out of the
country, so exporting more agricultural products is something the USA
could benefit from.
