According to my American dictionary, a Tariff ‘is a tax that a government collects on goods that enter a country’. It is therefore a levy, almost always imposed as a percentage of the value of the goods to be introduced. The Dutch word rate means something else. That is not a percentage, but a price, for example for gas or electricity, usually as part of a series. The ferry has a rate for pedestrians, for cyclists and for cars.
