Tariffs actually achieve just the opposite - it increases the cost of foreign imports. Also, it does it for everybody, also for authorized importers/resellers.

Well, sometimes there is hardly anything else but copyright that constitutes products (e.g. media, books). Personally, I would also enable the same kind of protection for trademarks (so that iPad could be sold for different price in West and elsewhere).

Even better, why not set the price of an iPad to production cost + 1% of a person's yearly income? Resale under pain of death.
