A trade barrier is any government policy or regulation that restricts or makes it more costly to buy or sell goods and services across national borders, usually to protect domestic industries or achieve economic or political goals.

Example: Tariff — a tax imposed on imported goods (e.g., a 10% duty on imported cars). Tariffs raise the import price, reduce import volumes, and protect domestic producers by making foreign products relatively more expensive.
