Frequently Asked Questions

What is a tariff?

A tariff is a tax imposed by a government on goods and services imported from other countries. Tariffs serve various purposes, including protecting domestic industries, raising revenue, and addressing trade imbalances.

How are tariff rates determined?

Tariff rates are determined by various factors including trade agreements, political relationships, economic policies, and industry protections. Rates can be set as a percentage of the import's value (ad valorem), as a specific amount per unit, or as a combination of both.

How often do tariff rates change?

Tariff rates can change based on policy decisions, trade negotiations, or retaliatory measures. Some changes occur through scheduled reductions in trade agreements, while others may happen suddenly due to trade disputes or policy shifts.

What is the difference between import and export tariffs?

Import tariffs are taxes imposed on goods entering a country, paid by the importing entity. Export tariffs are taxes on goods leaving a country, typically used to ensure domestic supply or increase government revenue. The United States primarily uses import tariffs rather than export tariffs.

How do tariffs affect consumers and businesses?

Tariffs typically increase the cost of imported goods, which can lead to higher prices for consumers. For businesses, tariffs can increase input costs, disrupt supply chains, and affect competitiveness. However, they may also protect domestic industries from foreign competition.
