In this paper I examine the welfare effects of tariffs in international free-entry oligopolies under integrated markets in a two-country world model. I shall show that a small specific (or ad-variorum) tariff imposed by the home country exercises the same welfare effect as a small specific (or ad-variorum) tariff imposed by the foreign country in a free trade equilibrium. These unilateral specific (or ad-variorum) tariffs and reciprocal specific (or advariorum) tariffs make the home and the foreign countries better off if demand functions of oligopolistic goods are concave (or concave or linear).
