Tariffs are taxes imposed by a government on goods imported from other countries。
例如，当美国对进口钢铁征收25%的关税时，进口钢铁的美国公司必须向边境的美国海关缴纳25%的税。
This cost is then passed through the supply chain and ultimately reflected in the prices consumers pay for products made with that steel。
A common misconception is that foreign countries or manufacturers pay the tariff。
In reality, tariffs are paid by the domestic importing company, which then raises prices to cover the additional cost。
Tariffs affect thousands of product categories spanning electronics, vehicles, clothing, food, building materials, and household goods。
