Tariff
Tariff in Global Commerce Policy
In this regard, tariff is: a customs duty on merchandise imports. Levied either as an ad valorem tariff (percentage of value) or as a specific tariff (e.g. $7 per 100kg). Less often, a compound tariff made up of both of these elements applies. Tariffs give a price advantage to similar locally-produced goods and raise revenues for the government. Tariffs are mostly levied on imports, but there are cases of tariffs on exports. For economists, a tariff is the equivalent of the imposition concurrently of a consumption tax and a production subsidy. The entries on trade policy are here. Although governments often understand this clearly, they may be reluctant to reduce tariffs since this may have important fiscal implications in cases where they rely on customs duties as a predictable source of revenue. The entries on trade policy are here. It is worth noting, however, the view expressed in the Brigden Report that the "popularity of a tariff among Treasuries and Governments is due to the fact that it is a means of 'painless extraction', the indirectness of the method acting as an anaesthetic". See also ad valorem tariff, Lerner’s symmetry theorem and specific tariff.[1]
