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
But wait, there's more!
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.
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.
I work in manufacturing. I only raise prices.
Prices are going up regardless because:
Tariffs are not paid by the sender (Me) or the receiver (my customers). They are paid at the border by the importer.
I have to rebuild supply chains $ch-ching$
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.
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
Please tell me I'm not the only one who does this….
My prices do not “return to normal”. They either stay where they are or they go up.
