The report states that US customs revenue surged by $200Bn (of which the US consumer pays 96%). That does not breath confidence into the idea of lower reliance on foreign goods.
Your conclusion is a non sequitur. Of course Customs revenue boomed, that’s what tariffs do. To assess impact on the country’s reliance on foreign goods you’d need to see how the volume of foreign imports changed over time.
