The Import Price Index measures prices when imports arrive at the border.
“And so, it happens before there any taxes and fees applied to it through customs,” said Meagan Schoenberger, senior economist with KPMG.

“The foreign exporter doesn’t want to lose their whole market, so maybe they start discounting,” said Schoenberger.
But that hasn’t really been happening recently. Import prices actually rose a little in April and May. The price of certain imports from China, for instance, have fallen some.
“But when you look, especially if we focus on items from China, the overall increase in tariffs has been far, far, far larger,” said Jason Miller, a professor at Michigan State University.
Which means foreign exporters aren’t absorbing much of the tariffs at all. American importers are.

If you go to most social media websites, most Americans understand that. I think the US administration knows that too but they don't care.
The strange part is that some non-Americans don't understand that.
