trade tariff

Customs duty levy

A trade tariff is a tax imposed by a government on goods imported from other countries.

Tariffs raise revenue and protect domestic industries by making foreign products more expensive: The new trade tariffs on steel pushed manufacturers toward local suppliers.

They often become tools of economic pressure or retaliation between nations.
