    No, no, the importer pays the tax. You might want to send them a little extra if you want to help them out with that.

      the importer pays the tax

      Officially, but in reality the extra cost gets passed down to the consumers in all countries involved, following the usual recipe of the rich getting all the gains and the poor getting all the expenses.

        Yeah, and we’d still all get fucked by this export as there are still a bunch of oligarchs left to bone us afterwards.
