A tariff is simply a tax or duty placed on an imported good by a domestic government. Tariffs are usually levied as a percentage of the declared value of the good, similar to a sales tax. Unlike a sales tax, tariff rates are often different for every good and tariffs do not apply to domestically produced goods.Except in all but the rarest of instances, tariffs hurt the country that imposes them, as their costs outweigh their benefits.Tariffs are a boon to domestic producers who now face reduced competition in their home market. The reduced competition causes prices to rise.The sales of domestic producers should also rise, all else being equal.The increased production and price causes domestic producers to hire more workers which causes consumer spending to rise.The tariffs also increase government revenues that can be used to the benefit of the economy.
