| The economic analysis seems unnecessarily partisan. Rather than starting off with the theories of "libertarian economists", it would be good to first explain the widely recognized effects of tariffs. It may be appropriate to include which groups of people think those effects are good or bad, but I think that should only come after the explanation.

Dr. Crowley's comment on this article
Dr. Crowley has reviewed this Wikipedia page, and provided us with the following comments to improve its quality:
I think the material in the section "customs duty" is likely incorrect. This section is confusing at best. I recommend removing it entirely.
For evasion of custums duties section: Here is a recent publication
"Outsourcing Tariff Evasion: A New Explanation for Entrepôt Trade," Raymond Fisman & Peter Moustakerski & Shang-jin Wei), 2008, The Review of Economics and Statistics, MIT Press, 90(3): 587-592.
The section Economic Analysis does not contain any references to the more realistic case of a country that faces an upward sloping export supply curve. This is the focus of much current research on the topic. See Broda, Christian, Nuno Limao and David E. Weinstein. 2008. "Optimal Tariffs and Market Power: The Evidence." American Economic Review, 98(5): 2032-65. DOI: 10.1257/aer.98.5.2032
The section "Tariffs within technology strategies" is confusing and partially wrong. It does not provide enough concrete analysis to explain that rationale for infant industry tariffs nor does it precisely explain why they are often viewed with skepticism.
We hope Wikipedians on this talk page can take advantage of these comments and improve the quality of the article accordingly.
