"External Revenue Service" is a kind of stroke of genius. The title itself is disinformation. Tariff revenue is not external.
It means that every time we media orgs talk about it, we need to fact-check the very *name* or we're just spreading disinformation.

External hemorrhoids work the same way. They can be “external” but they still bleed and cause pain to only the individual.
Can I suggest avoiding the words “duties” and “tariffs” entirely and just use “tax” where possible? The extra jargon adds more confusion than clarity for all but a tiny slice of people.
More focus on the human impact, less on the extra vocab.
