Does tarrifs applay on Stockpile ?

[Zladimir]

Hi there, just trying with the demo.

So if I enact high tarrifs, my population and the industry has to pay for imports. Do they only applay on world market ? What ist about the common market and the national stockpile ? For example, can I buy wool into stockpile and let my industry buy it from my stockpile, so that the industry does not have to pay tarrifs for wool ?

I don't think so, as stockpiles are likely to be considered part of the internal/common market.

And I was wondering... As I was struggling to have a positive budget with Japan at the beginning, I put a high "tarrif" (does this world really exist? It comes from the french I guess, but it's "tarif"). And it makes me get a lot of money but... what is the backfire? My middle-classed men (artisans, namely) will fint it very difficult to get by their own?

It basically makes goods more expensive for your POPs and factories, so your POPs have less money and your factories are more expensive to run. However, POPs and factories do not pay tariffs on goods produced in your common market.

Someone mentioned that the tariffs will make it expensiv for your pops to but stuff from th world market, and buy their goods from you internal market instead


So if you prodice a lot of iron for instance, and you have steel prodcing artisans, you should keep a fairly high tariff to encourage the development of your own market

please correct me if i'm wrong

I did the same thing in my Japan game. Over time my artisans went from having over 50% not meeting life needs to ~5% not meeting life needs, so apparently it was beneficial to the middle class.

If I understand it right, all Nations who are in my SOI share the same common market ? This means as long as my peoples and factorys buy goods from me and my SOI, they'll not pay any tarrifs, right ?
Very interesting .. ^^ Makes it real easy to build up a protectionist Empire .. Yeah

Yep. I think that's the point... it's a nice nuance to the economic game...
