We already have a bunch of different import tariffs on stuff - it’s not new. Most goods from outside the EU/EEA/CH have at least a small percentage charged on them.
But, they’re selective and used to protect domestic industries- so for example, cheese from outside Europe has tariffs on it to protect the French and Spanish cheese industries. This is fine, because we can buy those European made cheeses for cheap.
This is different because we don’t apply enormous tariffs to stuff that mostly comes from abroad. That would be stupid.
