A tariff is the tax applied by a country to import goods. Usually they are based on whether the commodity is something that a country needs to develop on one extreme or something that competes with the country's own production. They can be punitive if the country feels that the exporter is receiving subsidation from the originating country. As an example, the USA used to (still might) charge a high tariff on imported Canadian cedar lumber and byproducts; they did that because 1., the US is a large supplier of cedar, and 2., the US felt that the Canadian exporters were receiving subsidies from the Canadian government.
