专家称美国企业与消费者正为新一轮关税买单

Core Viewpoint - The cost of new import tariffs is primarily borne by U.S. businesses and consumers, contradicting previous claims by Trump [1] Group 1: Tariff Impact on Prices - Since the imposition of new tariffs in early March, the average price of imported goods has increased by 4%, while domestic product prices have risen by approximately 2% [1] - The most significant price increases are observed in goods that the U.S. cannot produce domestically, such as coffee, and imports from countries facing high tariffs, like Turkey [1] - Despite notable price increases, the overall rise is still lower than the tariff rates, indicating that some suppliers are absorbing costs [1] Group 2: Import Price Index and Export Costs - The U.S. import price index (excluding tariffs) shows that foreign exporters have generally raised their factory prices in U.S. dollars to offset losses from dollar depreciation [1] - Export costs from countries such as China, Germany, Mexico, Turkey, and India have increased, while Japan's export prices have remained stable [1] Group 3: Current Tariff Rates and Future Outlook - The average tariff rate on U.S. imports has surged from about 2% to approximately 17%, with monthly tariff collections reaching around $30 billion [1] - Experts predict that businesses and consumers will require several months to fully adapt to the unstable tariff system [1]
