Buyers import. Sellers export. Your example does not make logical sense.
US buyers are technically importing potash to the USA, but the tariff is considered an export tariff because it's leaving Canada. The tariff is on the buyer in the US.
as he said "EXPORT tariffs. These are taxed at the border, by Canada, to the buyer exporting", which would be those farmers
Wait, why not?
