"The United States imposes tariffs (customs duties) on imports of goods. The duty is levied at the time of import and is paid by the importer of record. Customs duties vary by country of origin and product. Goods from many countries are exempt from duty under various trade agreements."
The importer of record means the vendor that receives the goods here in the US who then increases the cost of those goods which is paid by the consumer.
