Importers stocking up ahead of even-higher levies have given an unexpected boost to the U.S. Treasury.

The article from Fortune, dated May 2, 2025, discusses the impact of tariffs on the U.S. Treasury's revenue. It highlights that tariffs, which are taxes imposed on imported goods, have become a significant source of income for the government, contributing billions of dollars annually. The piece explains that while tariffs are intended to protect domestic industries by making foreign goods more expensive, they also serve as a tool for generating revenue.

It also mentions that the Treasury Department is closely monitoring the effects of these tariffs on both revenue and the broader economy, with ongoing debates about their long-term sustainability and effectiveness.
