The interstate commerce clause in the Constitution of the United States gave the congress the authority to set and limit shipping costs. This happened because under the Articles of Confederation, various states had tariffs on goods from other states. It almost stopped shipping. The Constitutional Convention changed that.

When Juarez was forced to flee Mexico, he went to the port of New Orleans. He compared the amount of goods flowing through the port of New Orleans and up the Mississippi River with the extremely small amount of goods that entered Mexico. When he returned to Mexico, he did away with tariffs between the states so that goods could travel between states without paying a tariff.

India has more people than the United States but has failed to industrialize. The internal tariffs make it too expensive for industries to sell to people in other states within India. Industries there sell abroad. China, on the other hand, which started with less in 1947 in the way of industries, has industrialized.
