import restriction
Limits foreign goods
Import restriction refers to government limits on goods entering a country—tariffs, quotas, bans, or regulatory barriers.
Nations impose import restrictions to protect domestic industries, address trade imbalances, or enforce safety standards: The administration announced new import restrictions on steel.
In trade policy debates, restrictions are often called protectionist measures.
