What are Tariffs? 什麽是關稅?
A tariff is a tax imposed on foreign-made goods, paid by the importing business to its home country’s government.
關稅是對外國産品征收的一種稅款，由進口商支付給其本國政府。
For example, if there’s a 10% tariff on all goods from China, a product worth $10 would have a $1 charge added. That charge is paid to the U.S. Government by the importer.
如果對來自中國的所有商品征收10%的關稅，那麽一件價值10美元的産品將額外加收1美元的關稅。該費用由進口商支付給美國政府。
HOW DOES THIS IMPACT CONSUMERS? 關稅將對消費者造成什麽影響？
Because these tariffs are being paid by the importer, economists predict that prices of common goods will rise. ING estimates a rough yearly increase of $835 per person or $3,340 for a family of four.
由于這些關稅由進口商支付，經濟學家預測普通商品的價格將會上漲。荷蘭國際集團（ING）估計，每人每年的生活成本大約會增加835美元，而一個四口之家的年增長額則約為3340美元。
For example, if Jewel Osco imports $100 worth of vegetables from China, they will have to pay a $10 tariff. This makes the vegetables higher in value, so the grocery store might sell them for more than usual.
如果 Jewel Osco 超市從中國進口價值100美元的蔬菜，他們需要支付10美元的關稅。這使得蔬菜的成本上升，因此超市可能會以高于平時的價格出售這些蔬菜。
HOW DOES THIS IMPACT BUSINESSES? 關稅將對商家造成什麽影響？
If goods are selling at a higher price than normal, this may impact demand. Not only will businesses have to pay more on their imports, they will have to sell items at a higher cost to offset their spending.
如果商品的售價高于平時，這可能會影響需求。企業不僅要為進口商品支付更高的費用，還必須以更高的價格出售商品以彌補支出。
For example, if a restaurant has to buy its vegetables from Jewel Osco & the price has increased per dish by $10, then the price of that dish might also increase by $10. This increase may be less appealing to customers.
如果餐館必須從 Jewel Osco 超市購買蔬菜，而每道菜的成本因此增加了10美元，那麽這道菜的售價也可能相應上調10美元。這種漲價可能會讓顧客望而卻步。
WHAT TARIFFS ARE BEING IMPLEMENTED? 目前美國政府正在征收哪些關稅？
Trump’s Executive Order on Saturday morning (2/1/2025) imposes tariffs on Canada, Mexico, and China, who together accounted for more than 40% of imports into the U.S. last year.
特朗普于 2025年2月1日（星期六） 發布行政命令，對加拿大、墨西哥和中國的進口商品征收關稅。這三個國家在去年共占美國進口總額的 40%以上。
