Erm... what happens if the companies just decide to raise their prices +20%?
well actually that is the GOP plan, most countries already have a tax on imports. Canada is part of NAFTA, but U.S. goods are still subject to a 13-15% import tax (i.e. GST/HST).

Doesn't Finland have a 24% VAT on imported goods?
