Yeah, as long time customs workers that have overseen tariffs on products will attest, your tariffs against countries are duties that apply at your docks/terminals on domestic companies as they move goods and products in.
That's the extent of the 'jurisdiction' for any country's tariffs. None of it is conducted nor collected within another country.
And that's precisely why blanket retaliatory tariffs like truml is doing is the most foolish thing Canada can entertain, unless it's strategic to redirect consumption to comparable domestically sourced goods, which actually hits back at the US.
