When a tariff is imposed on imported goods, it primarily leads to an increase in the __________ of domestic products as consumers shift their preferences due to higher prices of imports.

When a tariff is imposed on imported goods, it usually causes the price of those goods to rise because the tariff is an extra tax that importers must pay. As a result, consumers may decide to buy more domestic products that are now relatively cheaper. This shift in consumer preference leads to an increase in the demand for domestic products. For example, if a tariff raises the price of imported shoes, people might start buying more shoes made in their own country instead. Overall, tariffs can help local businesses by making their products more appealing compared to more expensive imports.
