Supply Chain Disruption: Tariffs and Their Global Impact

By Sarah Ellen Evans

Definition and Purpose of Tariffs
Tariffs, at their core, are taxes imposed by governments
on imported goods. This financial mechanism serves
multiple purposes, primarily aimed at regulating foreign
trade and protecting domestic industries from foreign
competition. By increasing the cost of imported goods,
tariffs create a price advantage for domestically
produced items, encouraging consumers to buy local.
This protective measure can be particularly crucial for
emerging industries that might struggle to compete
against established international players. In essence,
tariffs are not merely financial tools; they play a pivotal
role in shaping the economic landscape of nations
