In theory they can be good for emerging domestic markets, but ever since global trade has been established centuries ago, it has never actually resulting in a net gain for the country/region/kingdom/empire that imposes any sort of self-paying tax on imported goods.

The self-paying tax part is the important part here.

Agree that it doesn't exactly cause a net gain in these markets since it can be so hard to know when to let your foot off the brake but it certainly has been a tool for protecting certain markets from Western hegemony, which would be modern day colonialism by some standards.
