Tariffs are fees or taxes collected on imported goods. They serve as a source of revenue and also have the effect of raising the prices of such imported goods thus making similar internally produced goods more attractive . They also tend to decrease the overall volume of the imports to which the tariffs are applied and this may help with a balance of payments problem.
