Tariff may also mean:
- a schedule of prices or terms of how a product is sold, as in an electricity tariff published by an electric utility or electricity retailer.

Transportation related associations or companies such as railroads, trucking firms, port terminals, and water carriers typically publish tariffs. Many tariffs have legal standing with regulatory agencies and may require approval by them.
