    I mean realistically tariffs will be distributed across expoter/importer/purchaser. Simply because tariffs force renegotiations on price.

    However, it’s likely that the importer/purchaser will take the larger hit, but it depends on what percentage US orders make of the exporters business and what their margins are.
