Usually tariffs are to protect local goods. Except for Dutch Pinball, what are they protecting, or is it a money grab from the people that have disposable income?

Quoted from luvthatapex2:The EU tariff includes game consoles. Why do they consider pinball machines game consoles?
So really a tariff on Japan. They make the consoles or maybe all made in China, so Tariff on China. I don't think they thought tax Pinball, which is really the only truly American made product in this category.
Tariffs have always been a huge political issue in the United States going back to 1776. That was one of the main issues early presidents dealt with other than foreign/indeginous wars. You had the north that wanted tariffs to protect their industrial base, but the tariffs hurt the south. Many presidential/congressional campaigns were focused on this issue.
Quoted from Ballypinball:Stupid Move False declarations will cause the game to be seized and a big fine and tax Fraud
Do you really think they are stupid to think the game was made in the UK
I'm pretty damn sure J85M was joking. Why is everyone so serious?
