Trade Control Laws

Trade control laws are regulations that govern the buying and selling of goods and services between countries. They are designed to manage international trade for reasons such as protecting national security, promoting economic stability, and respecting foreign policy objectives. These laws can include tariffs (taxes on imports), export controls (restrictions on sending certain items abroad), and trade sanctions (penalties against specific countries). By enforcing these rules, governments aim to support domestic industries, prevent illegal trade activities, and ensure that trade activities align with national interests.
