I understand the basics, but I’m trying to understand the actual mechanics of how they’ll impact us.

I run an American magazine publisher. We use a printer based in Manitoba. I don’t actually handle the nitty gritty of importing (paperwork, etc.) but we obviously pay for the magazines and the freight shipping.

I understand prices are almost certainly going to go up. And I’m going to have this conversation with our printer as well. But am I going to have to pay those tariffs directly? Or will my printer or freight company pay them (and likely pass that along to me)? When do they actually get paid and by who?

Edit: Also, are tariffs typically calculated as a percentage of what I paid for the product or as a percentage of the retail value that I will sell them for?

Edit2: I know “we all pay it” and no, I did not vote for this. I’m wondering, as a matter of process, who is responsible for actually cutting a check to CBP and how that works.
