"doesn’t have to be internationally shipped or be taxed via tariffs"

I agree with the taxation (duties), but actual shipping overseas is dirt cheap. It is more expensive to move your cargo overland by a truck than to move it to the other side of the world using a cargo ship.

The cost difference between moving a container of peanuts from Alabama to San Francisco and moving it from Alabama to Sydney is surprisingly small.
