tariff
Border crossing charge
A tariff is a tax on imported goods, charged when they cross a border.
Governments use tariffs to generate revenue or protect domestic industries from foreign competition: The new tariffs on steel raised prices for manufacturers.
Extended from trade, tariff can mean any schedule of rates or charges: The hotel's tariff includes breakfast.
