What is a type of trade barrier where the government places restrictions on imports or exports of certain goods?

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.

Distinguish between a free trade area and a customs union?

A free trade area is where there are no tariffs between member nations. A customs union goes a step farther and requires all members to have the same external tariff policy to goods coming in from outside the customs union. So, if Countries A & B are in a customs union, they would both charge the same tariff on goods imported from Country C. The reason for this is to prevent imports coming into the country with the lowest tariff and then being sent to another country in the union (without a tariff). The producer can send it directly to the end nation.
