tariff policy

Trade barrier strategy

Tariff policy is a government's approach to taxes on imported goods.

It encompasses decisions about which products to tax, at what rates, and toward what ends—protecting domestic industries, generating revenue, or exerting political pressure.

The administration's tariff policy sparked retaliation from trading partners.

Changes in tariff policy often dominate trade negotiations and economic debates.
