外貿口語一點通第81期:自由貿易之關稅壁壘

[00:00:37] Professor Wang, can I ask a few questions? [00:03:49] Certainly. [00:04:31] What is the tariff? [00:06:52] It is a tax levied by the government on goods imported into that country. [00:13:49] Why does the government levy the tariff? [00:17:28] Tarrif provides the government with extra tax revenue. [00:20:21] Anything else? [00:23:48] Tariff raises the price at which the goods are sold in the importing country and therefore makes them less competitive with locally produced goods. [00:34:03] Oh, I know. [00:35:16] Thank you, Professor Wang. [00:37:15] Do not mention it.
