In other words, what does qualify for the USMCA and what does not. Part of the reason why so much ire has been directed at Canada lately, for example, is because of all the abuses that have been alleged within the USMCA.

But you're selling it under the guise of the USMCA. That's really an abuse of these country of origin laws. And so if Canada is not willing to crack down on that, then we're going to have to crack down on it.

Exactly. And it's not just the fact that they are evading the tariffs on China, but then they're getting it's kind of a one to punch because they're evading the Chinese tariffs. And then they're also getting the preferential treatment that other nations don't get within the USMCA. So it's not simply that China is not China, but they're on a level playing field with the rest of the world.

It's interesting. If it really was the case that all of these tariffs would instantly be passed along to the consumer in all instances, then American dairy farmers would have no problem competing in Canada because they would just take that 270% tariff or the equivalent thereof. and pass along to their Canadian consumers.

So that's clearly not what happens, at least not in all instances. Now, there are a lot of different factors at play.
