    are government-imposed duties on imported goods, designed primarily to elevate the cost of foreign products and enhance the competitiveness of domestic industries. Beyond protecting local manufacturers, tariffs may also serve broader economic and strategic purposes, such as generating public revenue, addressing trade imbalances, or applying geopolitical pressure. Their implementation often influences market sentiment, introducing uncertainty that can impact investor behavior and trigger volatility in equity markets and currency exchange rates.
