A tariff is a tax on imports. Its two main functions are: (i) to raise revenue; and (2) to "protect" the domestic economy.
It follows that tariffs are a barrier to free trade. Unless there are very good reasons for "protecting" the domestic economy (such as preventing hostile dumping of goods) protectionism is best avoided.
A similar economic device to the tariff is the quota, which sets a strict limit on the amount of imports. A quota is also a form of protectionism.
Art. 12 (now repealed) of the original EEC treaty banned both tariff increases and the creation of new tariffs. (see the Van Gend en Loos case). Since 1 Jan 1993, when the "single market" was created, there are no longer any EU tariffs nor quotas on inter-Member-State trade.
Although tariffs are banned, Member states can still charge duty on "dutiable goods" - mainly tobacco and alcohol. The UK is notorious for having high taxes on alcohol and tobacco; and the UK Customs have been known to act illegally to try to prevent the import of such items from Europe. In due course, import duties may be banned also.
