National governments have used tariffs for two purposes. One is simply to raise funds for government operations. This purpose is not controversial. The other is to increase the cost of imported items relative to domestically manufactured ones. Tariffs imposed for this purpose are known as protective tariffs, and have always divided opinion between consumers of imports, who have opposed them, and manufacturers, who have benefited from them.
