Original Note:
The claim made is wrong. US import prices as reported by the BLS reflect CIF (Cost, Insurance, Freight) costs at the US border before, excluding tariffs and duties. Tariffs are applied separately. https://www.bls.gov/opub/btn/volume-9/how-tariffs-relate-to-bls-import-and-export-price-indexes.htm Non fuel imports rose by 0.6% in H1. https://www.bls.gov/news.release/ximpim.nr0.htm
