It depends.. For some goods possible to just immediately raise prices, for others, business will try to compensate from another source.

As example, Daimler stated, they will cut cheapest models from export to US, so some segment will got less concurrent market, and probably prices will raise.

Probably, this is because Daimler have much higher profits on expensive models, so they could just lower profits on them. Other variant, also possible, expensive niches are more tolerant to price raise.

For small countries, tariff raise nearly guarantee prices rise, but US is big country, things are not so simple.

You mean there might be some niche product that:

1. has no US parts in the supply chain

2. has a importer that is willing to sacrifice itself for the greater good

A faint drop of hope in an intergalactic ocean of despair.
