this is not true. have you ever seen a master agreement?
A master agreement is just a contract framework, that could be anything.
That doesn’t change where tariff revenue comes from though. I’m not trying to “gotcha” you here. Just passing info.
Tariffs do generate federal revenue, it’s just the source of that revenue is not foreign. Tariffs might even get us favorable trade terms if used as a negotiating tactic/threat, but your arguments will be more credible in the future by understanding that “tariff revenue” is not foreign money.
If you didn’t know that, now you do. If you did, then it was just a confusing title.

Mexico doesn't pay tariffs. People who import goods into the country from Mexico do.

No, importers pay it. The "exporters" don't pay anything at any point in the supply chain. You might get some local delivery from the factory to the harbor where it's being shipped out included. But it will stop there, it's the importers responsibility from that point on and you'll have to pay services/people to handle things for you.
Probably easier to do in Mexico, I look into importing from China and it was a pain in the arse with all the shite.

I never said exporters pay tariffs.
I'm in the game. Customs broker who works for the importer pays the direct tariff and they do bill the importer. however it is not as simple as that. To find out who really pays for tariff is really impossible without the master agreement between the two parties
Most people have never heard of incoterms.

I'm slightly familiar with the process.
The master agreement between any two companies can declare who ultimate pays any number of fees and costs.
I often pay 100% of transportation costs door to door and bill the customer on the US side full the amount. They pay me and then charge back the exporter for their portion of the transportation and any other relevant costs agreed to in the master.
What tariff on which good are you thinking you've paid due to a price hike since

only thing easier is you don't have deal with a steam line or air cargo. if you aren't careful steam lines will rape you on dray and container costs if you are not careful.

Anybody doubting that man’s ability to make deals and create revenue is straight moron.
One thing he will do is make the country much better off financially. People have no idea how much he’s balancing the playing field, we have been getting crushed and shouldering the entire worlds expenses

Glad for the wall...but if you dont think that type of increase is bad and riddled with abuse, then you're not paying attention
Trump, un this case, became one of them. More financial abuse.

The premise that it was this exact type of indirect reimbursement to which Trump was referring immediately struck me when he said it, merely as a matter of common sense
TRU DAT = I refused to even engage in debate with anyone so stupid as to think otherwise.
Obvious things are simple to understand to all but the most obtuse.

Even if consumer prices go up the exporter will eat most of the cost...and anecdotally, I haven't noticed any significant cost increases on products I buy on a regular basis.

Can you find me one, singular source that says “exporters pay tariffs”? Just one.
Find ne a source that says the importing company pays tariffs. Find a quote where I said exporters pay for tariffs.
Neither the importer or exporter pays the tariff. The customs broker pays the govt if any tariffs or fees apply. Then it’s whatever the two companies decide in there master agreement who pays which accessorial charges. They may agree to split tariffs, shipping, as well as other fees like FSC.

So far all evidence has shown that the foreign entities are paying it and not raising prices in the U.S.
There was just a thread a couple days ago on Japanese car manufacturers doing exactly that

my old college roommate is way up in Home Depot corporate. We all went on a golf trip a month ago or so and I asked him about it because I didn't actually understand tariffs either. He told me that they have to write a check when they pick them stuff up. He was telling me that orders for Christmas stuff have been fricked up this year because of the uncertainty of the tariffs and whether they could get the money back out of the stuff so they have been having redirect cargo ships to other places around the world to not eat all of it.
that is the jest of how I understood it with him explaining it to me.

Like the way Japan is doing it???
Lol.... TDS blinds you.

Japan has indeed taken steps to lower its export prices to mitigate the impact of the new U.S. tariffs. This strategy is part of a broader effort to absorb the costs of the tariffs and maintain competitiveness in the U.S. market.
