The latter plays a critical role in determining how the country's balance of trade responds to the exchange rate. See Marshall-Lerner condition. Dutiable importsDutiable importsImports on which a positive duty, or tariff, is levied. (The term seems like it ought to include imports on which the duty is zero but which a government is somehow free, or able, to levy a positive duty.
