Tariff (Accounting)

usuallya country's tax on imports. May sometimes refer to the rate of tax; andis used interchangeably with the term “duty”.

Tariff (Automotive)

A duty or tax imposed on imports.

Tariff (Customs)

A duty (or tax) levied upon goods transported from one customs area to another either for protective or revenue purposes. Tariffs raise the prices of imported goods, thus making them generally less competitive within the market of the importing country unless the importing country does not produce the items so tariffed. After seven "Rounds" of GATT trade negotiations that focused heavily on tariff reductions, tariffs are less important measures of protection than they used to be. The term "tariff" often refers to a comprehensive list or "schedule"of merchandise with the rate of duty to be paid to the government for importing products listed, whereas the term "duty" applies only to the rate applicable to an individual tariff item.
