Trade Restriction




A trade restriction is an artificial restriction on the trade of goods between two countries. It is the result of Protectionism . However, the term is not uncontroversial sine what one part may see as a trade restriction another may see as a way to protect consumers from inferior, harmfull or dangerous products. For instance Germany required beer to follow the Reinheitsgebot and that made it impossible for some imported beers to be sold in Germany. The USA required dual headlights on cars, European cars that used a single headlight unit had to be redesigned for the US market.
