    So if the customer paid more to cover the cost, why are the businesses entitled to a refund… that will come from the taxpayers?

      Because that’s not how buying and selling products works. The business chose to increase the price due to increased costs. As you said , it was an increased cost to the business - so why would the customer get the refund?

      The tariff was paid on import, not on sale.
