Answer: Tariff, also called customs duty, tax levied upon goods as they cross national boundaries, usually by the government of the importing country.

Explanation: Tariffs are a way for governments to not only collect revenue but also protect domestic businesses. Tariffs increase the price of imported goods, making domestic goods cheaper in comparison.
