border tax

Customs duty charge

A border tax is a tariff or duty imposed on goods as they cross national boundaries.

The term typically refers to taxes on imports, though it can include export taxes.

Border taxes may protect domestic industries, generate revenue, or offset differences in tax systems between countries: The proposed border tax would add 20% to the cost of imported goods.
