Tariff, Quota, and Embargo
7
A tariff is a tax on goods or services being brought into a country.
Example: If I were to sell oranges in Canada, they may add a tariff on the oranges that I sell. So Canada they may add a $1 tax on each orange I sell there. This would make my oranges more expensive.
8

a coupon on goods and services

9
A quota is a fixed limit on the amount of goods and services a country can trade.

An embargo is a ban on trade with a country.
