...Chinese solar cells have a 30% tariff. How many more times must you be told before you understand that?

Which means that the domestic ones I buy will be 30% higher than the market price.

Thanks for the choice.

Not at all. Your market price simply has all taxes included.

In this case, it has the burden of taxes from being made and sold in the US, or of being imported, tariffed, and sold in the US.

Your “market price” is what you can pay for it in your market.

It’s very simple to understand. You aren’t in the Chinese market, are you? If you were, you’d have a minimum of a 25% tariff on the US good.

Help the thread out. Can you name any two countries in the world that have free trade?
