      • Quotas, that can limit the volume of imports
      • Exchange  Rates can make imports more expensive if they are lowered
      • The  formation of Trade Blocs
    • The WTO is a group of 148 member states who believe that Free Trade is important, and that Tariffs and Quotas should be Removed
    • Influencing Exports
      • Free Trade Zones (FTZs) or Export Processing Zones (EPZs)
      • Lower  Exchange Rates, to increase competitive Exports
      • Formation of  Trade Blocs
