Quotas and Tariffs

Sometimes the government can encourage or discourage imports and exports of goods. It imposes quotas on certain products. An exports-quota specifies how much of a product can a manufac­turer, ship out. An import quota allows you to import to certain limit. The quota may be absolute (we reach a certain amount and can ship no more) or the government can combine it with a special tariff on all units over that amount. For example, we had an import quota of 6.000 automobiles. We had bought 6.000 automobiles with a 6.5% tariff the end of the last year, and all others we bought with a 0,45% tariff.

The government also imposes special, taxes or duties on imported well these are tariffs. Tariffs discourage imports because they make foreign goods more expensive. There art revenue tariffs that general tax revenues and protective tariffs that protect home manufacturer. The purpose of the revenue tariffs is to raise money and therefore those tariffs are rather low. The protective tariffs are much higher.
