I export a lot of goods and most countries charge 30-50% off the top and if we charged that on incoming parts it would be cheaper to make them here, you know like it used to be
You sound like a hillbilly relying on anecdotal evidence to form a view of how the world works. Go review economics and look up what influences exchange rates.

Barriers to trade result in higher prices to consumers and are a proxy to industry subsidies. What do you think happens to the price of imports when businesses fail to be competitive globally?

Just to give you a hint, the US spent $2.410 trillion on imported products in 2014.
