Core Viewpoint - The additional costs from U.S. tariffs are primarily borne by American importers and consumers, contradicting the U.S. government's claim that foreign exporters bear the burden [1] Group 1: Research Findings - The study analyzed over 25 million U.S. import shipping data, involving approximately $4 trillion [1] - By 2025, U.S. tariff revenue is expected to increase by about $200 billion, with foreign exporters only bearing around 4% of the tariff burden, while 96% is shouldered by U.S. importers and consumers [1] - Exporters did not lower prices to offset the impact of the new tariffs [1] Group 2: Long-term Implications - The U.S. tariff policy is likened to a consumption tax, with costs absorbed domestically, ultimately harming the U.S. economy [1] - Long-term effects include squeezed profit margins for U.S. companies and higher prices for U.S. consumers [1] - Exporting countries focused on the U.S. market may reduce exports to the U.S. and seek new markets [1]
