The Financial Times reports that the US has declared imports of one kilogram and 100 ounce bars of gold are subject to trade taxes. If true, US citizens who tried to hedge the inflation impact of US President Trump’s trade taxes by buying gold bars must pay those same taxes on their hedge. The ruling suggests gold imported between 9 April and 7 August was subject to tariff, underscoring how tariffs work. Gold importers are liable, and they (not exporters) will be pursued in the courts if they do not pay the tax. Holders of gold futures, etc. would not be subject to trade taxes.
