    Yes… buuuut they forward that cost to the consumers. The buisneses dont go:“Wops, we need to pay more for items, lets keep the prices the same for the consumers.” They increse the cost for the consumers.

      Sure, but the customer isn’t paying the tariff. The customer is just paying more for a product. The business is paying the tariff.

      It’s a “technically correct” thing, sure, but it’s why customers aren’t owed the refund. Businesses can increase prices whenever they want.
