A tariff is a tax on an imported good. An import quota (as I assume you mean) is a limit on the amount of a good which is allowed to be imported. One regulates price, the other supply.

Who loses from a tariff or quota?

A tariff or a quota increase the cost to the consumer. A tariff adds an additional cost to a product. As a result the consumer loses. Sometimes the supplier loses. A supplier in a distant land has the retail cost of his product go up under a tariff. If people can not afford the cost he will sell less. As a result he might lose. His workers might lose jobs if the product does not sell. His government might lose. Under a quota system, there may or may not be a loss. In the late 1970s, the government put a quota on Japanese cars. That created a shortage. Dealers added several thousand dollars to the cost of each car. The customer lost. The manufacturer lost.

Tariff And Import Quota


Is a quota a tax on an imported product?

No, a quota is the number that can be imported. Like for instance, no more than "_____" handbags can be brought over. It sounds like the tariff is the duty on the product and you may check and see if by duty they mean tax on each one. I think so.
