Original Note:
Tariffs are not paid by consumers. Tariffs are paid by the exporter (Colombia), directly to US Customs and Border Patrol. To recoup these tariffs, Colombian producers may increase their prices. If and only if a consumer pays, then the consumer has paid the tariff. https://www.pbs.org/newshour/economy/trump-favors-huge-new-tariffs-how-do-they-work
