How long does it typically take for prices to return to normal after tariffs are removed?

I'm losing international sales because of the tariffs and I have to recoup those lost sales somehow
Please tell me I'm not the only one who does this….
If labor costs go up, materials costs, rent, etc I raise my product prices. If those costs go down, I keep my prices right where they are.
My prices do not “return to normal”. They either stay where they are or they go up.
I work in manufacturing. I only raise prices.
Tariffs are not paid by the sender (Me) or the receiver (my customers). They are paid at the border by the importer.
But wait, there's more!
I have to rebuild supply chains $ch-ching$
I don't think I'm the only one that realizes that when customers are used to paying a certain price, they will continue paying it.
I can only expect Trump to continue disrupting the business environment with his willy-nilly bullshit proclamations and I need to protect my business against that worthless orange auto-fellating facefucker
But the importer is now going to charge the receiver. As soon as the tariffs are gone, receivers are going to stop getting that surcharge.
Prices are going up regardless because:
