trade barriers

Tariffs, import quotas, customs regulations, and other disincentives meant to discourage international trade.

Note: Trade barriers are usually protectionist; that is, they are erected to protect domestic producers who would not be able to compete successfully with foreign producers in a free market or in free trade.
