Most countries impose customs duties on a variety of imports, particularly on goods that compete with local industries, such as textiles, automobiles, and electronics. Additionally, luxury items and certain agricultural products often face higher tariffs to protect domestic markets. Raw materials and essential goods may have lower or no duties to encourage trade. These tariffs are used to generate revenue and regulate trade balances.

What is a type of trade barrier where the government places restrictions on imports or exports of certain goods?

Usually governments do not impose trade barriers on exports, since the country gains money on exports. However, governments do impose tariffs as a mechanism to control imports from other countries. Usually they impose a tariff on products that are much less expensive if they are imported rather than if they are produced domestically. By imposing the tariff they increase the price of the imported good, and give the domestic producers of that good a better chance to sell their product. For example, textiles from China cost a lot less than textiles made within the United States. The United States government could impose a tariff on the Chinese textile imports which would raise the price of these products. The domestic producers would then have a more level playing field to sell their own textiles in the United States market. If the tariff was not introduced then the Chinese textiles would be inexpensive compared to the domestically produced textiles, and consumers in the States would by the Chinese made textiles.

Distinguish between a free trade area and a customs union?

A free trade area is where there are no tariffs between member nations. A customs union goes a step farther and requires all members to have the same external tariff policy to goods coming in from outside the customs union. So, if Countries A & B are in a customs union, they would both charge the same tariff on goods imported from Country C. The reason for this is to prevent imports coming into the country with the lowest tariff and then being sent to another country in the union (without a tariff). The producer can send it directly to the end nation.

What Tariff led to retaliatory tariffs in countries?

The Smoot-Hawley Tariff Act of 1930 led to widespread retaliatory tariffs from other countries. This U.S. legislation raised duties on many imports, prompting trading partners to impose their own tariffs in response. The resulting trade barriers contributed to a decline in international trade and worsened the Great Depression. Many economists consider this act a significant misstep in U.S. trade policy.

Why cant you bring back as many cigarettes bought in Thailand as i can from EU?

The restrictions on bringing back cigarettes from Thailand compared to the EU are primarily due to different regulations on tobacco imports and customs allowances. Countries often set limits on the quantity of tobacco products that travelers can bring back to control public health issues and smuggling. The EU typically has higher allowances for personal use, while Thailand may impose stricter limits to discourage excessive consumption and exportation of tobacco products. Always check specific customs regulations before traveling.
