The imposition of tariffs on imported goods will always lead to an increase in domestic production and a corresponding decrease in consumer surplus in the domestic market.

Tariffs are taxes placed on imported goods, making them more expensive. When tariffs are imposed, domestic producers can sell their goods at higher prices because foreign products cost more. This encourages local production since people are likely to buy more from local businesses instead of paying the higher prices for imports. However, consumers face higher prices and have fewer choices, which reduces their surplus, meaning they get less value from their purchases. For example, if a country imposes a tariff on imported shoes, local shoe manufacturers might produce more shoes, but consumers will pay more for them than they would for the cheaper imported options.
