  2. Warm - UP • With your shoulder buddy, talk to each other about trade barriers and see how many types of trade barriers you can remember.

  3. Barriers to TradePhysical barriers: geographical features that prevent people from easily reaching another location. Land-locked countries, countries that have no ocean coastline, have difficulty trading because many important goods are shipped by way of the world's oceans. For example, Bolivia is a land-locked country, making trade with any country not sharing a border extremely difficult.Economic barriers: economic features that prevent trade between two locations. In the Western Hemisphere, trade blocks are used to combat tariffs. • Tariff: a tax on important goods. Tariffs make trade more difficult because they raise the price of goods imported between countries. • Quota: a limit on the quantity of a given product that can be imported from a particular country. • Embargo: the act of not allowing trade ships to enter or leave a country's ports. A country that declares an embargo can stop all trade with other countries. More frequently, an embargo can be used by one country or group against another specific country or group. When this happens, it blocks all trade between those two groups. Because the United States disapproves of Cuba’s Communist rule, the U.S. has had a trade embargo against Cuba since 1962. • Different currencies? How does the EU over-come this barrier?
