Tariff revenues are collected from U.S. importers—not foreign governments—at the point of entry. When foreign goods enter U.S. ports, importers pay duties directly to Customs and Border Protection. The $106B figure represents the cumulative sum of these payments, electronically tracked through Treasury's Automated Commercial Environment system.

The math holds because:
- Importers pay duties as a percentage of declared goods value (e.g., XX% baseline on $1T imports = $100B revenue)
- Steel, auto, and semiconductor levies specifically target high-volume sectors
- Aggressive enforcement under the Leveling the Playing Field XXX Act minimizes evasion

Deposit records exist within CBP's financial systems, not as physical receipts. Treasury's monthly statements verify collections. Projected $300B by year-end assumes sustained import volumes and robust enforcement—no phantom math, just hard commerce data.
