Import support

policies

Import support policies are government-imposed measures that are designed to protect domestic industries from foreign competition. These policies can take the form of tariffs, quotas, or subsidies, and are often used to protect domestic producers from cheaper imports. Tariffs are taxes imposed on imported goods, which make them more expensive and less attractive to consumers. Quotas limit the amount of a certain good that can be imported, which can help protect domestic producers from foreign competition. Subsidies are payments made by the government to domestic producers, which can help them compete with foreign producers. Import support policies can be beneficial to domestic producers, but they can also lead to higher prices for consumers and can distort global trade.
