美國對加拿大加徵關稅的背後
Key Difference: Duty and Tariff are two different kinds of taxes. A duty is a kind of tax being levied on specific commodities, financial transactions, estates, etc. Tariff is such as tax that is levied on imports or exports.
主要區別：duty 和 tariff 是兩種不同的稅種。duty 是對特定商品、金融交易、房地產等徵收的一種稅。tariff 是指對進出口徵收的稅。
In terms of customs, i.e. import and export, the terms duty and tariff are interchangeable and are mainly used synonymously. The main purpose of duties or tariffs is to the restrict trade of certain commodities, as the duty/tariff in added onto its cost and hence increases the total cost.
在海關方面，即進出口方面，duty 和 tariff 這兩個術語是可以互換的，主要是同義詞。duty 或 tariff 的主要目的是限制某些商品的貿易，因為關稅加到了商品的成本上，從而增加了總成本。
The only difference between the terms 『duty』 and 『tariff』 is that tariff may often be used where the government and economy mentioned. This basically means that tariff is used to refer to the rate of tax that must be applied as tax. For example: the tariff is 15% of the total cost. Whereas, the term 『duty』 is used to refer to the actual amount or the figure that must be paid as tax. For example: a duty of $1000.
duty 和 tariff 這兩個詞之間的唯一區別是，在政府和經濟體提到的地方，tariff可能經常被用到。這基本上意味著 tariff 是指必須作為稅收適用的稅率。例如：關稅是總成本的15%。然而，「duty」一詞是指必須繳納稅款的實際金額或數字。例如：1000美元的關稅。
