Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

A tariff is a tax imposed on imported goods, which increases the price of the goods for domestic consumers. Since the imported goods are now more expensive, domestic buyers have to pay a higher price, which means they lose. The importer of the good or service also loses due to the increased cost of importing. The foreign exporter of the good or service also loses since their sales in the importing country decrease. The government of the importing nation is the one that gains from the tariff since they receive revenue from the tax on imports. The government of the exporting nation does not benefit from the tariff.
