tariff rate

Customs duty level

A tariff rate is the percentage or fixed amount charged on imported goods at a country's border.

Rates vary by product category and trading partner: The tariff rate on steel imports jumped to 25 percent.

Countries negotiate preferential tariff rates through trade agreements, while punitive rates may be imposed during trade disputes.
