What are the major government policies that restrict trade?
What will be an ideal response?
The major government policies that restrict trade include protective tariffs. These are excise taxes or duties on imported goods. There are also quotas which are limits on the quantities or total value of specific items that may be imported. Trade can also be restricted by licensing requirements and unreasonable standards for a product and by hurdles and delays in the receiving process, which are in effect nontariff barriers. Finally, government can make payments to domestic producers to help them export goods. These payments are export subsidies which give an advantage to domestic producers and artificially increase exports.
