Protecting inefficient domestic industries is a poor use of government priorities, with the price paid by domestic consumers. This also applies to the argument that trade barriers </span><span style="color:#FF0000;">protect domestic employment or industries.</span></p><p><span style="color:#FF0000;">2. To protect an infant industry is an argument but nations have been very slow to remove the barrier once the industry has become established.</span></p><p><span style="color:#FF0000;">3. To protect from unfair competition, is a subjective term - what is fair for one nation or producer may not be fair for another.</span></p><p><span style="color:#FF0000;">4. To correct a budget deficit - while this argument carriers some weight for LEDCs who have limited opportunities to collect tax revenue from other sources. In developed nations, however, this has limited scope given the small level of government revenue collected from tariffs.</span></p><p><span style="color:#FF0000;">5.</span> <span style="color:#FF0000;">To correct </span><span style="color:#FF0000;">a current account deficit - will not work if other nations then impose retaliatory trade barriers in response.</span></p><p><span style="color:#FF0000;">6.
