Usually governments do not impose trade barriers on exports, since the country gains money on exports.

However, governments do impose tariffs as a mechanism to control imports from other countries. Usually they impose a tariff on products that are much less expensive if they are imported rather than if they are produced domestically. By imposing the tariff they increase the price of the imported good, and give the domestic producers of that good a better chance to sell their product.

For example, textiles from China cost a lot less than textiles made within the United States. The United States government could impose a tariff on the Chinese textile imports which would raise the price of these products. The domestic producers would then have a more level playing field to sell their own textiles in the United States market. If the tariff was not introduced then the Chinese textiles would be inexpensive compared to the domestically produced textiles, and consumers in the States would by the Chinese made textiles.

Why does the government want to encourage exports?

One possible reason may be if the country has a deficit balance of payment. This means that it imports more than it exports and as a consequences, the exchange rate depreciates (the value of the country's currency falls compared to another currency). In order to have an exchange rate appreciation, an equality between imports and exports is needed and so, the government encourages exports.
