The U.S. Department of Homeland Security has reported that since the current administration took office in January, U.S. Customs and Border Protection has collected over $106 billion. Of this amount, a staggering $81.5 billion can be credited to tariffs imposed during Trump’s presidency, touted by a senior DHS official as a victory aimed at “making America wealthier and correcting a flawed trade system.”

Additionally, the DHS highlighted enforcement actions by CBP that secured an extra $16.3 billion through targeted reviews of over 35,000 shipments identified as high-risk for duty evasion. However, it raises questions about who ultimately bears the financial burden of these tariffs.

Trump’s tariffs were designed to not only apply pressure on global trading partners but also to promote domestic purchasing among American consumers.
