Careful. It is Wlat you are talking to...the same Wlat who declared yesterday that "a tariff is not a tax,"

A tariff is not a tax.

A LAW DICTIONARY

by John Bouvier, Revised Sixth Edition, 1856:

TARIFF. Customs, duties, toll. or tribute payable upon merchandise to the general government is called tariff; the rate of customs, &c. also bears this name and the list of articles liable to duties is also called the tariff. 2. For the tariff of duties imposed on the importation of foreign merchandise into the United States.

How about the definition of "duty" from Merriam-Webster:

4 : TAX; especially : a tax on imports
