I think there will be some serious import undervaluation if such tarrifs were implemented.
Oh yeah, this crate of plushy animals totally cost 30 bucks
china export will collapse (on paper)
Yea that's the problem with trade controls without capital controls. You can still pay China pretty easily.
I guess Trump could expand the bureaucracy to catch mismatch between foreign currency transfers and trade but that will be "expensive" in that Government spending will go up.
I mean if demand is high enough one might make offshore companies to process payments in untraceable manner for 5 % (at least that's around legal rate i believe). I just pay shp2usa, they pay someone else, they convert money to euros and pay in singapore, and my stuff arrives with printed price 0.3 $ per pound, customs are a joke due to speed of process
