The tariff of the United States, like all actual protective tariffs, is partly revenue and partly protective, its original purpose of yielding revenue having been subordinated to that of giving protection, until it may now be best described as a protective tariff yielding incidental revenue.
Yes, tariffs serve a purpose. I believe that tariffs are good because they serve a purpose that helps insure that a country won't as easily outsource jobs to other countries, and there is way too much of that going on currently for our country's good and for the good of our economy.n ad valorem tariff means that the tax applies to a percentage of the import's value such as a set number of cents on every dollar of value. A specific tariff, on the other hand, means that the tax is not concerned with the estimated value of the imported goods, but rather is based on specific amount of the goods.
