here is a US company's import bill. they are paying this tax to the US government for importing something from china.
>Unlike other taxes like sales tax where we collect on behalf of the state and then submit it back at the end of the month, or income taxes, where we only pay if we are profitable, tariff taxes are paid before we sell any of the products and are due within a week of receipt which has a big impact on cash flow

the USA cannot tax a chinese company, that is not how the world works
