trade restrictions
Limits on commerce
Trade restrictions are government-imposed limits on the flow of goods or services across borders.
These include tariffs, quotas, embargoes, and regulatory barriers.
Countries use trade restrictions to protect domestic industries, address security concerns, or apply political pressure: The administration imposed trade restrictions on steel imports.
Free trade advocates argue such measures ultimately harm consumers through higher prices.
