A tariff is simply a tax or duty placed on an imported good by a domestic government. Tariffs are usually levied as a percentage of the declared value of the good, similar to a sales tax. Unlike a sales tax, tariff rates are often different for every good and tariffs do not apply to domestically produced goods.
Except in all but the rarest of instances, tariffs hurt the country that imposes them, as their costs outweigh their benefits.
Tariffs are a boon to domestic producers who now face reduced competition in their home market. The reduced competition causes prices to rise.
The sales of domestic producers should also rise, all else being equal.
The increased production and price causes domestic producers to hire more workers which causes consumer spending to rise.
The tariffs also increase government revenues that can be used to the benefit of the economy.

Switzerland's profits will decline because the tariffs will cause the other countries to buy chemicals internally.
Protective tariffs
Government-implemented tariffs can impact the economy by increasing the cost of imported goods, which can lead to higher prices for consumers and reduced purchasing power. While tariffs may protect domestic industries from foreign competition, they can also result in trade retaliation and decreased exports. Additionally, tariffs can disrupt supply chains, leading to inefficiencies and potential job losses in affected sectors. Overall, the net effect of tariffs on the economy can vary, often depending on the specific industries and the broader economic context.
If your asking why America made tariffs, then i think it was that America didn't want a whole lot of foreigners selling things in the U.S. and putting Americans out of their jobs. The tariffs made it so less people from other countries could impact the economy, then also the Americans would have more job opportunities.

Under the Articles of Confederation, the US Congress did not have the power to impact the economy. It could not enforce nationwide laws, or enact measures such as tariffs.
