tariff schedules

Tariff schedules are organized lists that specify the duties or taxes imposed on goods imported or exported across borders. They categorize products by type and assign specific rates, which can vary depending on the item, its origin, or other factors. Governments use tariffs to regulate trade, protect domestic industries, or generate revenue. Think of a tariff schedule as a detailed price list for customs duties, helping customs officials determine how much tax to collect on each imported or exported product.
