Original Note:
Whether or not a tax falls on consumers, producers, or some combination of both depends on the elasticity of the good. This is called "Tax Incidence". It is incorrect to claim the buyer pays for the entirety of the tariff without proper analysis of the good itself. https://www.investopedia.com/terms/t/tax_incidence.asp
