paying a higher price for the good than they otherwise would.

Import-restricting tariffs increase the cost of goods and services imported from other countries.  Governments have various reasons for making such impositions.  Some claim that the tariffs are imposed to protect local industries or to comply with local content requirements.  However, these restrictions hamper free trade.  They also distort the competitiveness of nations.
