Actually, it is the importer who pays the tariff. In this case either UPS was the importer (not likely, they were just the carrier) or the OP was the importer since they took delivery of the product directly from the carrier.
At least that is what seems to have happened.
If the Chinese company had worked through a local business then that business would have been charged for the tariff. They may have taken it out of profit but chances are they would have passed it along to the OP as well.
