How did tariffs affected American merchants?

History

It is not mentioned in the question which country sets the tariffs. There would be two possibilities (the American goverment sets the tariffs in the US border, <u>or foreign countries set tariffs in their territory that affect products which come from other coutries like the US</u>). I understand that in this case you refer to the latter option, as it is the one which produces a more direct impact on American merchants.

If foreign countries set tariffs in their frontiers to protect their national producers, in case American merchants want to commercialize their products there, these products will not compete in equal conditions anymore with the ones manufactured in the country of destination.

The American producers see how their costs of production have been increased, and the market price of their goods will be forced to increase over the price they would have had if there were no tariffs. The potential of American firms to compete in prices with national producers is much lower, and they will possibly lose customers in the foreign market and hence, decrease their sales.

How did the Aztecs increase their economic growth after conquering territories
valentina_108 [34]
They removed existing rulers from the conquered lands to ensure they had direct control of their enemies' trade routes. They forced all the people they conquered to trade directly with them, increasing their wealth from the sale of additional goods. They took all conquered people as prisoners and forced them to work as slaves on public works projects. The tribute demanded from conquered peoples provided warriors for defense, as well as food and resources for their own people.
