Question
Why are tariffs imposed?
Solution
Tariffs are imposed to make imports from foreign countries relatively expensive than domestic goods, thereby, t discouraging imports indirectly. These are imposed to provide a safe and protective environment to the infant domestic firms from their technologically advanced foreign counterparts. Tariffs facilitate the domestic firms to survive and grow. Tariffs are also imposed on those goods that the government thinks to be socially unwanted and imports of which will exert unnecessary burden on the scarce foreign exchange reserves.
