0 Comments Import duties/tariffs
A tariff is a tax levied when a good is imported. Specific duties, taxes or tariffs differ from ad valorem duties. A specific duty involves a fixed charge for each unit of goods imported, and tends to be independent of the point along the transportation and distribution network at which the duty is levied.
