If BCH was sent to a BTC segwit address, you cannot recover it yourself, and must ask a miner for help. [BTC.com](https://bch.btc.com/docs/help/bch_segwit_recovery) offers such a service

If OP used USD (say) to purchase BCH at an ATM and entered the receiving address of their BTC wallet, couldn't they just import the private key from their BTC wallet into their BCH wallet? (or equivalent process for a multicurrency wallet)

You can only send coins that belong to your own addresses. If you have sent the coins to an address that you don't own, the money are out of your control.

Contrary to what others have posted, your money is not *necessarily* lost forever.

From the sounds of things, you've sent BCH to a Bitcoin (BTC) address, using a bitcoin ATM.

You'll need to contact the operators of the ATM, to ask them to have your funds returned. This is the only way your BCH will be returned. As others have said, there is no way to reverse a confirmed transaction. The coins are now solely controlled by the ATM operator.
