GMAT：lift tariff到底是提高还是降低关税啊
GMAT里面有一道题：Kernland imposes a high tariff on the export of unprocessed cashew nuts in order
to ensure that the nuts are sold to domestic processing plants.==〉If the tariff
were lifted and unprocessed cashews were sold at world market prices,more
farmers could profit by growing cashews.However,since all the processing
plants are in urban areas,removing the tariff would seriously hamper the
government’s effort to reduce urban unemployment over the next five years.
这里箭头处明明是降低关税的意思啊,所以这个词到底是什么意思呢?

Answer 1

lift tariff 免除关税
Kernland 对出口的未加工腰果课以高额关税.如果关税被免除,未加工的腰果能够以世界市场价销售.
