I imagine the cost at the point of import, on which the tariff was paid, might be $20? In which case the 20% tariff was $4, leaving $6 more profit for the rest of the supply chain.

That 20% goes to the seller, in other country. The cost increases by that amount, no one else’s fees see a bump unless they add a further increase. But that makes it more expensive again.

The 20% tariff goes to the US Government. The manufacturer/seller in the country of origin probably gets nothing.
