Article 1, Section 8 says:

"The Congress shall have the power to lay and collect taxes, duties, imposts and excises, to pay the debts and provide for the common defense and general welfare of the United States; but all duties, imposts and excises shall be uniform throughout the United States;" etc.

Stll, that power is restricted by the enumerated powers.
