Still have no idea who pays the extra money. Does the importer pay the extra $12 for a 12% tariff while the exporter receives the $100? Or does the importer pay $100 and the exporter pays the $12? In other words, who pays the duties to the Treasury?

You left put the part where when all the watches cost more. American made companies increase the price to match is, just because they can make profit. Terrifs specifically in the USA causes all products to increase because it's a profit trap
