Export restriction

Export restriction

Export restrictions, or a restriction on exportation, are limitations on the quantity of goods exported to a specific country or countries by a government.

An export restriction may be imposed:
* To prevent a shortage of goods in the domestic market because it is more profitable to export
* To manage the effect on the domestic market of the importing country, which may otherwise impose antidumping duties on the imported goods
*As part of foreign policy, for example as a component of trade sanctions
*To limit or restrict arms or dual-use items that may be used in proliferation, terrorism, or nuclear, chemical, or biological warfare.
*To limit or restrict trade to embargoed nations.
