export tax
Overseas shipping charge
An export tax is a duty imposed by a government on goods leaving the country, typically levied to generate revenue, discourage the export of certain commodities, or keep domestic supplies plentiful and prices low.
Countries rich in natural resources sometimes use export taxes to encourage local processing rather than shipping raw materials abroad.
The export tax on timber was designed to protect domestic lumber mills.
