Explanation of Solution

  • The import restrictions are imposed to protect the domestic industries from foreign competition. These restrictions are imposed in the form of tariff or quota.
  • Domestic industries competing with the imports are the main beneficiaries of import restrictions. Thus, they are benefitted the most from import quotas.
  • However, the consumers and the exporting countries suffer because of the import quotas, as the consumers lose the chance to choose from a wider range of varieties at the best prices and the exporters lose the chance to gain from trade.
