States imposed duties on imported goods primarily to protect local industries from foreign competition and to generate revenue for the government. However, this led to trade tensions and retaliatory measures from other states, resulting in increased prices for consumers and strained economic relationships. Ultimately, such protectionist policies often complicated interstate commerce and contributed to conflicts, as states prioritized their own interests over collective economic stability.
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.

However, the overall intent was to bolster American manufacturing rather than directly benefit imported goods, resulting in significant controversy and backlash, particularly from Southern states.
