If dropshipping was to be used as valid fulfillment method, e.g. what Amazon is doing without customers even realizing it, the customer will not get charged anything. Because either the goods are already imported by the supplier of e.g. Amazon. Or because the dropshipping seller is the importer of record and wll be charged with tariffs and so on.

In both cases, the tariffs already figure into the price. Dropshippers are no different, except for having gratuitously higher mark-ups.
