    You’re still importing the base materials and have to pay tariffs on that. That’s not getting around anything. The end consumer still foots the bill.

      Depends on what the tariffs are about. If there’s a tariff on a specific category of finished consumer goods, an import of the materials/ parts in combination with a local assembly might indeed reduce or avoid the taxes you have to pay.
