If the exporter pays they have to charge extra to cover the tariff but that extra is then tariffed!
say 50% tariff on $100 item:
Importer pays $100 cost + $50 tariff = $150
if the exporter pays: $200 inc. $100 tariff = $200 cost to importer.

Over a pint in Oxford, we may have stumbled upon the holy grail of agriculture | George Monbiot
I knew that a revolution in our understanding of soil could change the world. Then came a eureka moment β and the birth of the Earth Rover Program, says Guardian columnist George Monbiot
1. Some good news at last. This weekβs column is about the amazing thing a couple of us stumbled into three years ago, which weβve now developed into a global research programme. It doesnβt change everything, of course, but it could help change quite a lot. + π§΅ www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...
