Answer to Question 1

C

Answer to Question 2

A nontariff barrier is a nontax measure imposed by a government to favor domestic over foreign suppliers. Nontariff barriers create obstacles to the marketing of foreign goods with a nation and serve to increase costs for exporters, thus making goods more expensive. Nontariff barriers include import quotas, embargos, foreign exchange controls, currency devaluation, and cultural barriers.
