Making Sense of Trump’s Victory: David Shuster on the Path Forward

Foreign mfg's get paid by letter of credit from the buyers (Walmart, CVS
etc.,) at FOB (freight on board)which means when they deliver the goods
to the carrier/shipping company. When the goods arrive at an American
port, if there is a tariff that needs to be paid, the American buy needs to
pay it, thus whatever they pay in tariffs will be added to the cost of the
cost of each item, which you must pay if you need that item.
Believe me, if the item could be sourced in America it would not be 
imported. Items it does not pay to set up 
factories to make the items here for a variety of reasons,, so you will
be hit with the cost of the tarrif while they last.
