Article I, The Constitution of the united States of America.Section. 8. "The Congress shall have Power To lay and collect Taxes, Duties, Imposts and Excises,...... but all Duties, Imposts and Excises shall be uniform throughout the United States;"Section. 9."No Capitation, (head tax) or other direct, Tax shall be laid, .""No Tax or Duty shall be laid on Articles exported from any State."

The Congress could place a tax upon the States, but it had to be placed based upon the population of each state vs. the population of other states or by "Proportion." (To my knowledge, this was never used).After the War between the States (American Civil War), an Impost Tax was placed upon goods imported and exported to and from Confederate States and Union States. This Impost is still good today. This was to punish the Confederate States, but the Constitution does not prohibit the use, because it says:"No Tax or Duty shall be laid on Articles exported from any State."It does not say any thing about "Impost." So, this is how they justified its use.President Thomas Jefferson called the system fair, because the rich bought the foreign goods with taxes upon them, while, the poorer farmer did not receive the burden of taxation.

Tariffs, or taxes on foreign imports, can be helpful to a country's economy by blocking competition from other countries.

Tariff of Abominations
The most common term for such a tax is to call it a "Tariff" and this is also the historical name. With the streamlining of international transactions in the 19th and 20th centuries, other terms such as "Customs Duty" or "Import Duty" have been used. In addition, the WTO has provided for two other forms of taxes that can be placed on imported goods and services as punishment to other countries for illegal economic practices and these are called "Anti-dumping Duties" and "Countervailing Duties".
