### Comment:
It doesn’t. I’ve had manufacturers/importers use the tariffs as an excuse to increase prices citing tariffs, packaging, labor, benefits, and transportation costs. 
  
 Meanwhile, some Chinese firms have already begun shifting manufacturing/buying factories in neighboring countries.

Yep I work on import business for a retail chain.  Suppliers raised the prices on everything 15-20% , and the retailer did also.
