Who pays a tariff fully depends on whether there is a substitute supplier or buyer.  The columnist confidently declares buyers pay for tarriffs.  Yes, they do, if there is no alternative supplier anywhere on Earth who sells a comparable product.  But most products do have alternative sellers.  This means the seller must pay some of, or in many cases, near 100% of the tariff.  Don’t take my word for it (two degrees from leading universities in this subject).  Ask ChatGPT.
