Countries use them to protect domestic industries/agriculture/renewable energy & to retaliate against other's unfair trade practices.

Tariffs are taxes on imported goods paid by importers at the time of import, not by consumers at the point of sale / sales tax. Tariffs may lead to higher prices, but are not imposed on consumers buying goods. Tariffs are applied before products reach retail stores. [Link] NEEDS_MORE_RATINGS(290-13-136) Author
