The importing company just adds the tariffs to their sales price. Tariffs are paid by the last one in the chain, the customer. That's why it's like a sales tax.
You're right that that's an option, but increasing the price of various goods can make them unaffordable or unappealing. I know I changed my habits as soon as eggs went over $4 a dozen.
