In 1784, the Spanish closed New Orleans to American goods coming down the Mississippi River. In 1795, the border was settled and the U.S. and Spain had a trade agreement. New Orleans was reopened and Americans could transfer goods without paying cargo fees (right of deposit) when transferring goods from one ship to another.

Spain historically restricted trade with its Latin American colonies, enforcing a mercantilist system that allowed only Spanish ships to engage in trade with these territories. This regulation limited colonial commerce and ensured that the economic benefits flowed back to Spain. As a result, the colonies were often forced to rely on Spain for goods and were not allowed to trade freely with other nations, including the United States.

The secret agreement between Spain and France, known as the Treaty of San Ildefonso in 1800, transferred control of Louisiana from Spain back to France. This development raised concerns for American traders and settlers, as it threatened their access to the Mississippi River and vital trade routes. The fear of increased French control and potential restrictions on trade prompted the U.S. to seek greater territorial expansion, ultimately leading to the Louisiana Purchase in 1803, which significantly enhanced American trade opportunities in the West.

Spanish colonies could only export their raw materials to Spain or other Spanish colonies, and had to purchase manufactured products only from Spain. This was typical of European colonies under the system of mercantilism.
Spain imposed several restrictions on American trade, particularly through the Navigation Acts, which mandated that trade between Spain's colonies and other nations could only occur through Spanish ships. This limited the colonies' ability to trade freely with other countries, stifling economic growth and fostering resentment among colonists. Additionally, Spain often enforced monopoly practices on certain goods, further controlling the flow of commerce. These restrictions contributed to rising tensions that eventually played a role in the fight for independence in many Spanish colonies.
Tariffs and embargos are trade restrictions.
The purpose of trade restriction is to protect some domestic industry from foreign competition.
NAFTA is an acronym for North American Free Trade Agreement. Spain is not part of North America and not a member of NAFTA.
An example of a trade restriction is a tariff, which imposes taxes on imported goods to protect domestic industries. In contrast, a trade agreement that promotes free trade and reduces barriers between countries is not a trade restriction. Other examples of trade restrictions include quotas and import licenses, while measures like lowering tariffs or eliminating quotas are aimed at facilitating trade.
Tariffs are the most common type of trade restriction. Trade restrictions are used by the United States in order to ensure protection with domestic industries.

A restriction passed by Congress on March 1, 1809, before the War of 1812, to forbid direct American trade with European belligerents and in response to British control of American trade. It was used as a coercive measure to deprive France and England of the American commercial market until they resolved their economic warfare and returned to neutral trade policies.
