England selling tea at an overpriced cost (by adding a greater tax) is the opposite of Tariffs. Modern education has failed this generation.

Increasing the cost of imported goods is exactly the aim and result of a tariff. Don't want to pay the tariff? Just buy tea grown in good honest American soil. Easy peasy!

In the early Americas, Colonies we’re forced to buy tea at a higher price. That is not a Tariff. If the Americans were adding a additional cost to buy British tea. That is a tariff.

The tea was originally from China and the colonies were under British rule. An import duty is just another way of saying tariff.

Okay any taxation of overseas goods can be considered a tariff. As far as what I have read. Thanks for being persistent. I learn something today.
