A tariff raises the price of an imported good above the world price of that good by the amount of the tariff. Domestic suppliers are then able to raise the price of their good to the price of the imported good. The rise in price causes some buyers to exit the market, and by reducing the domestic quantity demanded the consumer surplus decreases, creating a deadweight loss.
