They won’t be the only one to do this. I expect it to show up as an itemized expense on receipts for all sorts of products. It is actually quite common.

In reply to myself, I made a purchase online today from a company I used last year and today I had a new line item on my receipt for DUTIES of roughly 5% of the total cost.

Did they give you that at check out so you could decline the purchase.

I didn’t notice it until the receipt so if they gave it to me in advance, I did not see it.

The official line is that the tariffs will be paid by others, not USians. In typical “JC” fashion, any divergence from the official narrative, no matter how delusional the narrative is, will be punished.
