That $10 widget I'm importing from China -- how much will I pay after the NRST is implemented?

It depends.

Do you or your producer have employees in the chain that are currently subject to taxation? Maybe you'll find that American widget producers are a better product and you can buy them for $7 or that your customers are willing to buy them even if they are only a dollar higher than the chinese made ones.

The point is that the price of imports wil not be favorably affected.

Great news if you're a protectionist, huh?
