No, simply adding new or increasing existing tariffs seems a poor way of balancing things. It may be better to look at the manor of import, amount, type, distance travelled, native product, etc and then account for these factors with a heavier tariff for smaller, luxury imports vs a lighter tariff for bulk, essential imports.

No, but imports should have to meet the same standards as domestic produce to avoid UK businesses being undercut.

Some tariffs should be implemented to protect UK industry where necessary, but for items we have to import there should not be tariffs
