An "outsourcing payment" is defined as "any premium, fee, royalty, service charge, or other payment made...to a foreign person...to labor or services the benefit of which is directed, directly or indirectly, to consumers located in the United States."

That exempts B2B. It doesn't have a border-adjustment charge, so any country tariffed less than 25% can undercut American businesses. And it weirdly doesn't use the words wage, employee or employer, which would mean a lot of consumer purchases would be covered, from airline tickets to Spotify charges.
