      Hard to figure why any company would pay that kind of tariff markup unless there is no alternative source for the US market, AND they think they can then mark up the product enough to consumers to avoid cutting their own mark up (profit) too much.

          Will people pay more if a product is made in the US?

          Apparently not.

          A business owner tested if customers would pay more for American-made. The results were 'sobering.'

          From Business Insider:
