Yes, technically correct and I am not disputing your points.

But, we all know the cost of the tariff the local importer will need to pay the local government will be passed on to local consumers.

My distinction and argument is if the government said "we will increase taxes on all products at your local grocery store by 145℅" people would flip. But when the wording become we will tariff "other countries" people forget who actually pays that tariff.
