Trade barrier

Barriers to free trade can take many forms, including:

• import duties
• import licenses
• export licenses
• import taxes
• tariffs

However, most barriers to free trade all work on the same principle: the imposition of some sort of cost on trade that raises the price of the traded productss. If two or more nations repeatedly use trade barriers against each other, than a trade war results.
