Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Producers typically lobby for import tariffs to make foreign goods more expensive and give domestic producers a competitive advantage in the domestic market. Consumers, on the other hand, generally oppose tariffs because they increase prices and limit choices. Export tariffs, which are taxes on domestically produced goods sold abroad, are rare and generally opposed by domestic producers because they make their products less competitive in foreign markets.
