As has been noted previously, by your irrational assumptions Wal-Mart bases its largest distributership out of Bentonville, Arkansas because that is where most of the consumers live.

And by your logic are we to assume that each and every product Walmart sells passes through Bentonville?

Specifically, an importer could delay payment on the tariff until he had a buyer for his goods by storing them tax-free in a warehouse.

Read the legislation.

About twentyfive years ago when Bentonville was their only distributorship they sure did! Today it handles a portion of the load along side other distribution centers of a similar nature. The one thing that does NOT happen with Wal-Mart goods is direct shipment to each and every individual store from the country or origin or even the port where goods arrive.
