Is it legal for tariffs to depend on who is importing the goods?

I thought that by law tariffs could only be based on the type of good and the country of origin.

It's whatever the supreme court says it is.

It's not legal for the US president to impose tariffs at all. But the US is a dictatorship de facto now, so roll a die.

That would be the case if laws weren't toilet paper.
