What is a tariff?

BlackTom AI · Accepted Answer

The prompt presents the question: What is a tariff? and normally would provide multiple answer choices to evaluate.
In this data, the answer field contains a single option: 'c. A tax imposed on imported or exported goods and services, designed to restrict trade.' This definition aligns with the standard economic understanding of a tariff as a tax levied on goods crossing a border, whether entering or leaving a country, with the intent to influence trade flows, protect domestic industries, or raise revenue.
Because there are no other answer options listed in the answer_options field, we cannot compare multiple choices or analyze alternative definitions. If we had additional options, we would assess each against the tariff concept:
- A statement describing tariffs as something other than a border tax would be incorrect, since tariffs operate at the border on traded goods.
- A definition that frames tariffs as subsidies or internal taxes without border application would be inaccurate.
- Any option asserting tariffs apply to services only, or that they have no effect on trade, would also be misleading, as tariffs typically target cross-border goods and influence trade costs and volumes.
The provided option correctly identifies a tariff as a border tax on imports or exports intended to restrict or steer trade activity. Without competing options, further comparative analysis isn’t possible here, but the single option given is consistent with the conventional definition of tariffs.
