4. What is tariff?
A tariff is a tax imposed by a government on goods and services imported from other
countries that serves to increase the price and make imports less desirable, or at least less
competitive, versus domestic goods and services. Tariffs are generally introduced as a means
of restricting trade from particular countries or reducing the importation of specific types of
goods and services.
