Overview +6 The U.S. Constitution, specifically Article I, Section 8, grants Congress the power to "lay and collect Taxes, Duties, Imposts, and Excises". Tariffs, which are a type of tax on imports, fall under this power. This means Congress has the authority to enact laws imposing tariffs on goods entering the United States.
