Tariff
A tariff is a tax on imports or exports (an international trade tariff). In other languages and very occasionally in English, "tariff" or its equivalent may also be used to describe any list of prices (electrical tariff, etc.).
== Etymology ==
The small Spanish town of Tarifa is sometimes credited with being the origin of the word "tariff", since it was the first port in history to charge merchants for the use of its docks〔Chambers Dictionary of Etymology, New York, 1997, ISBN 0-550-14230-4〕 The name "Tarifa" itself is derived from the name of the Berber warrior, Tarif ibn Malik. However, other sources assume that the origin of tariff is the Italian word ''tariffa'' translated as "list of prices, book of rates," which is derived from the Arabic ''ta'rif'' meaning "making known" or "to define".〔(The Online Etymology Dictionary: tariff. ) The 2nd edition of the Oxford English Dictionary gives the same etymology, with a reference dating to 1591〕
