Answer

A tariff, also known as a "border tax", is a tax placed only on specific goods being imported into a country. A tariff can be used to restrict foreign imports, harm foreign producers in some way, protect domestic businesses, or raise additional revenue. What a tariff never does is open markets and promote absolute free trade.
