restriction of import 进口限制
Methods employed in controlling the volume or value of goods coming into a country,usually to maintain the exchange rate of the country’s currency.Also called import controls,the primary import restrictions are:(1)tariffs(import duties)or taxes levied on the imported goods to make them costlier,(2)import licenses or import quotas that limit the total quantity of goods imported,or imported from a certain country,(3)currency restrictions that limit the amount of foreign exchange available for payment of imports,and(4)prohibition that prevents entry of illegal or harmful items.The last three are collectively known as non-tariff barriers.
