The purpose of a protective tariff. First of all, what is a protective tariff? It is a tax on imported goods (or goods that come into the country).So, a protective tariff would be one that protects the country from foreign competition. For example, the tariff of 1828.

What is an example of a protective tariff?

An example of a protective tariff is seen in the importation of oranges. Citrus fruit does not readily grow everywhere, and South American countries often produce massive quantities for export. If a country can produce oranges but can import them from South America cheaper than growing them domestically, a protective tariff might be applied.

This helps domestic companies compete with international companies.
