It is more difficult to evade tariffs or VAT on imports, sure. For that to even out the playing field, it would have to be refunded to average Americans, and I am not sure it can even happen given the fiscal structure in the US? Maybe a patchwork of all sorts of federal programs, better Medicare here, some more govt jobs there, etc? A direct refund would probably work much better.
