It will cost exactly as much the value of the tariffs levied.

In the short term. Not in the long term.

The premise of your argument, as I understand it, is that as domestic production "kicks in" the cost will drop to match the pre-tariff Chinese cost.

Leaving aside the notion that the US will always be the lowest cost producer of everything, why did the manufacture of these products go elsewhere in the first place?
