二战以来，美国关税收入从未超过联邦政府总收入的2%，但这一比例现在已达3.1%。 美国关税收入在7月创下历史新高，根据美国财政部8月12日发布的数据，7月单月关税收入飙升至280亿 美元，较去年同期激增273%。本财政年度累计关税收入已达到1420亿美元。 目前，2025财政年度的关税收入占美国联邦总收入的3.1%。美国两党政策中心经济政策副总裁阿卡巴 斯（Shai Akabas）称，二战以来，美国关税收入从未超过联邦政府总收入的2%，现行政策可能将这一 比例推高至5%以上。 值得注意的是，进口关税由美国进口企业缴纳，但成本转嫁机制使得最终负担可能落在消费者身上。美 国劳工统计局（BLS）7月数据显示，进口价格指数环比微涨0.1%。由于该指数测算的是关税前价格， 说明大部分关税成本实际上由进口商承担，而非外国出口商。 伦敦政治经济学院欧洲研究所实践访问教授科多尼奥（Lorenzo Codogno）对第一财经记者表示，特朗 普时期的关税政策实质上是对美国进口商和消费者征收的附加税。他警告这种收入增长模式难以持 续："随着进口商品价格上涨，整体价格水平也将上升，这将压缩可支配收入，从而减少对进口商品的 需求，进口 ...
