Trade barriers such as tariffs raise prices and reduce available quantities of goods and services for U.S. businesses and consumers, which lead to lower income, reduced employment, and lower economic output.

An increase in trade barries may also result in a decline in international trade in the United States.

Trade barriers are government-induced restrictions on international trade. Trade barriers are detrimental and decrease overall economic efficiency.
