The Potential Benefits of Tariffs

Tariffs, defined as taxes imposed by a government on imported goods, are a subject of considerable debate in economic policy. While often associated with negative consequences such as increased consumer prices and the potential for trade wars, a closer examination reveals several potential benefits that warrant consideration. This report aims to present a balanced argument outlining these potential advantages across historical, economic, and strategic dimensions, acknowledging the complexities and controversies inherent in tariff policy.1 A strategic and well-considered approach to tariff policy is essential to harness these potential benefits effectively.

Historically, tariffs have played a significant role in the economic development of nations, particularly in the United States. One of the earliest examples is the Tariff Act of 1789, a foundational piece of legislation that aimed to generate revenue for the newly formed federal government while also encouraging the development of domestic manufacturing.5 This act imposed a tariff of approximately 5% on most imported goods. Following the War of 1812, tariffs were again raised with the intention of protecting emerging American industries, such as textiles and iron, leading to a substantial increase in average tariff rates.11 For a considerable period, until the early 20th century, tariffs served as the primary source of income for the US government.3 During the Civil War, tariffs were increased to around 44% to help finance the war effort and support industries in the North.11 Later in the 19th century, the McKinley Tariff of 1890 aimed to further protect American industries, although its implementation was followed by the economic downturn known as the Panic of 1893.5 These historical instances suggest that tariffs were often viewed as beneficial for generating revenue, shielding emerging industries from foreign competition, and fostering industrial expansion. The early US government, with its relatively small size and spending, found tariffs to be a practical primary source of income.9 Moreover, during times of war or disruptions to international trade, domestic industries experienced advantages due to reduced competition from abroad.11 Alexander Hamilton’s advocacy in his “Report on Manufactures” underscored the belief that tariffs were crucial for nurturing a robust industrial base.5 However, it is important to note that the extent to which these tariffs directly caused economic prosperity is still debated by economists; factors such as population growth and capital accumulation also played significant roles.35 The historical reliance on tariffs for government funding also underscores a stark difference in the fiscal landscape compared to modern economies with more diversified tax systems.3

Economists and policymakers have also advanced arguments in favor of tariffs for strategic economic reasons. The infant industry argument suggests that new industries in developing economies often require temporary protection from international competition to achieve economies of scale and become competitive in the long run.5 Proponents like Alexander Hamilton and Friedrich List have emphasized that nascent industries may lack the experience and size to compete with established foreign firms.35 This protection can take various forms, including import duties, tariffs, quotas, and subsidies.195 However, critics point out that such protection can foster inefficiency, encourage rent-seeking behavior, and create difficulties in removing tariffs even after the industries have matured.195 The case of Brazil’s computer industry in the 1980s serves as a cautionary tale, illustrating how infant industry protection can sometimes hinder rather than help development.195 Beyond the infant industry argument, strategic trade policy suggests that tariffs can be used to support industries crucial for national security or overall economic stability.6 Targeted tariffs can incentivize domestic production in these key sectors.6 Some argue that tariffs are also necessary to create a level playing field when other nations impose high tariffs or maintain non-tariff barriers on imports.20 Furthermore, tariffs can be employed to address market failures and externalities. For instance, anti-dumping duties can counter the practice of foreign firms selling goods at unfairly low prices, potentially harming domestic producers.5 Countervailing duties can be used to offset the effects of foreign government subsidies that give exporters an unfair advantage.5 Some also propose that tariffs could be a tool to address environmental externalities associated with the production and transportation of imported goods.25

Tariffs are often considered as a means to address trade imbalances and potentially boost domestic production and employment. By increasing the cost of imported goods, tariffs can theoretically make domestically produced alternatives more competitive.3 This could lead to increased domestic demand and consequently higher levels of domestic production.3 This increase in production can then lead to higher employment levels in manufacturing and related industries.3 However, the effectiveness of tariffs in significantly reducing trade imbalances is debated among economists, with some suggesting that they may not have a substantial impact and could even lead to adverse effects.76 Furthermore, retaliatory tariffs imposed by other countries can negate any potential benefits to domestic production and employment.1

Historically, tariffs have served as a significant source of revenue for governments, particularly before the widespread adoption of income taxes. In the early years of the United States, tariffs were the primary means of funding federal operations, sometimes accounting for as much as 90% of total revenue.9 Even in more recent times, tariffs have contributed to government coffers. For instance, the Trump administration’s tariff policies in 2025 are projected to generate substantial revenue, although estimates from various sources differ.3 However, in the context of modern economies with extensive government spending, the revenue generated by tariffs typically constitutes a relatively small fraction of overall federal revenue.1 Moreover, the imposition of tariffs can have broader economic consequences, and the revenue generated might come at a significant cost to the overall economy.1 The potential for retaliatory tariffs from trading partners and a decrease in import volumes due to higher prices can also diminish the anticipated revenue from tariffs.1

Tariffs can also serve as a tool to protect national security interests by encouraging domestic production in strategic sectors. These sectors often include industries critical to a nation’s defense and overall economic stability, such as defense, critical minerals, and pharmaceuticals.6 By making imported goods more expensive, tariffs can reduce a nation’s reliance on foreign suppliers for these essential products, thereby enhancing supply chain resilience and mitigating vulnerabilities to geopolitical disruptions or supply shocks, as highlighted during the COVID-19 pandemic.25 The Trump administration, for example, invoked national security concerns to justify tariffs on steel and aluminum imports.4 The Defense Production Act (DPA) is another mechanism that the US government utilizes to ensure the domestic supply of materials and services critical for national defense.238 While tariffs can incentivize companies to shift their supply chains and potentially bring production back to domestic soil 25, the effectiveness of tariffs in achieving large-scale reshoring is debated. Factors such as labor costs and the complexities of existing global supply chains play a significant role in companies’ location decisions.3

Tariffs can also be a tool to counter unfair trade practices employed by foreign competitors. These practices often include dumping, where a foreign producer sells goods in an export market at a price below their normal value in their home market, and the use of subsidies by foreign governments to give their domestic industries an unfair advantage.5 Anti-dumping duties are tariffs imposed on imported goods that are sold at a price lower than their fair market value, potentially causing harm to domestic producers.127 Countervailing duties, on the other hand, are tariffs levied on imported goods that have benefited from subsidies provided by the government in the exporting country.214 Both the US and international trade organizations like the WTO have established legal frameworks and procedures for investigating and implementing these types of duties.127 For example, the US has imposed anti-dumping duties on products like paper clips from China and countervailing duties on agricultural products from certain regions.223 WTO rules permit the use of these duties if it is demonstrated that dumping or subsidies are causing material injury to the domestic producers in the importing country.127 The process in the US involves investigations by the Department of Commerce and the International Trade Commission (ITC) to determine the existence of dumping or subsidies and the resulting injury.127 These targeted trade remedies can be more justifiable and less economically disruptive than broad tariffs as they directly address specific unfair practices without penalizing all trade with a particular country. However, the process of proving both the unfair practice and the injury to the domestic industry can be complex and resource-intensive.127

The threat or imposition of tariffs can also be a powerful tool in international trade negotiations. Historically, tariffs have been used as leverage to achieve favorable outcomes for a country. For example, President Trump employed the threat of tariffs to pressure Canada and Mexico into renegotiating NAFTA, resulting in the USMCA, and also to encourage Mexico to take stronger actions on immigration.5 The possibility of tariffs can incentivize other countries to lower their own tariffs or open their markets to goods from the tariff-imposing nation.67 In some instances, tariffs have been used to exert pressure on countries regarding issues beyond trade, such as border security and drug trafficking.7 Recent instances show countries responding to US tariff threats with pledges of tariff reductions or offers to engage in negotiations.78 However, the effectiveness of tariffs as a negotiation tool is a subject of debate, as it carries the risk of escalating trade tensions and causing negative economic consequences for all parties involved.1

Finally, arguments suggest that tariffs can incentivize domestic investment and the reshoring of manufacturing activities. By increasing the cost of imported goods, tariffs can make domestic production more attractive, potentially leading to increased investment in local manufacturing facilities and the creation of jobs.25 The Trump administration explicitly stated that its tariff policies aimed to encourage the return of manufacturing to the United States.25 For instance, tariffs on imported steel and aluminum have been argued to have spurred investment in the US metals industry.161 However, the effectiveness of tariffs in driving reshoring is debated, with some research suggesting that factors like labor costs and supply chain complexities often outweigh the impact of tariffs on location decisions.3 Some evidence suggests that tariffs on finished goods might be more effective at incentivizing domestic investment than tariffs on raw materials or components.171 Tax credits and other incentives might also play a crucial role in encouraging long-term domestic investment in manufacturing.153 While tariffs can make domestic production relatively cheaper compared to imports, a large-scale manufacturing resurgence is likely to require a more comprehensive approach that includes investments in infrastructure, innovation, and workforce development.167

In conclusion, while the prevailing economic sentiment often views tariffs with skepticism, there are potential benefits that warrant consideration. Historically, tariffs have been a significant source of government revenue and a tool for protecting emerging industries. Economists and policymakers have argued for their use in strategic trade policy, correcting market failures, and addressing unfair trade practices. Tariffs can also be employed to tackle trade imbalances and potentially stimulate domestic production and employment, although their effectiveness in this regard is debated. Furthermore, tariffs can play a role in safeguarding national security by promoting domestic production in critical sectors and enhancing supply chain resilience. Finally, the threat or imposition of tariffs can serve as leverage in international trade negotiations to achieve favorable outcomes. However, it is crucial to acknowledge that the realization of these potential benefits is highly context-dependent and often comes with associated costs and risks, such as increased consumer prices, retaliatory measures, and market uncertainty. A nuanced and strategic approach is necessary to effectively harness the potential advantages of tariffs while mitigating their drawbacks.
