Trade tariffs are taxes imposed on imported goods, calculated as a percentage of the goods' value. They serve multiple purposes: protecting domestic industries, generating government revenue, and regulating international trade.
The rate applied depends on the product's HS code classification, country of origin, and any applicable trade agreements. Understanding tariffs is essential for accurate landed cost calculation and competitive pricing.
