You just refund the people who pay the tariffs. You can't do any more than that.

I'm okay with that, though I don't think most of my receipts highlight how much went into a tariff. Maybe for very specific purchases it did, but for most things I've bought over the past year there's no real way to gauge this.

Agreed; only the edge importer can be refunded by the government. Hopefully those businesses pass on the refund, but that's up to them.
