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.

We shouldn't be able to buy dirt cheap stuff from overseas on sites such as Temu and Shein. We should support UK businesses by making them more affordable.
