I think it should depend on a product or goods. An example is that, a raw material (not yet available in the country or it compromises/not compatible with the output or more expensive in the country) to be used as input material for manufacturing in the country. Lower tariff for this scenario would be helpful to the business. If luxury goods are to be imported, it will not matter to the buyer if the tariff has increased as it is a "want", not a "necessity". I think the tariff should be based on the category of the product.
