  1. analysisdocumented

    Tariffs were imposed as promised, but available incidence evidence assigns part of the burden to U.S. households and conflicts with the affordability promise. The original IEEPA duties were invalidated, the temporary Section 122 duty expired, and the July 2026 Section 301 regime materially changed the exposure; its current household-dollar scale remains unresolved in the cited evidence.
