MULTIPLE COLUMN TARIFF

A tariff system where the import tax or tariff rate evaluated on a given product depends on its country of origin. This is different from a single tariff system where it levies the similar tariff rate on a product regardless of its origin. Most countries use this. The least tariff rates applied on products that came from countries with whom a nation has free trade agreements or if a country is regarded undeveloped, while the highest tariff rates analyzed on products from developed nations in which its has no trade agreements and/or diplomatic relations.
