Svalbard imports a lot of snowmobiles though, given their population. From what I know a substantial fraction, if not most, are from Polaris so made in the US[1].

"A lot" is rather relative here given the total population is around 2.5k people.

True, I was thinking more about how silly the tariff rates are given the relative trade imbalance.
