    Today I will be speaking to you about international trade and foreign exchange rates. Throughout history, there have been many market structures and systems, as well as trade amongst international countries and colonies. As all of you already know, imports can be brought in from many countries. During the process, the government will usually set a price ceiling and price floor for producers to protect them as a whole. For example, if there are farmers importing tomatoes from multiple countries into the United States, there will be a surplus. There is a surplus when the supply of the imported goods is greater than the demand. As a result, a country export and import levels should be controlled by government policies. If there were no trade regulations applied to imports, the surplus may turns into deficit, negative affecting farmers who will lose money because of the decrease on the Gross Domestic Product.…

    Tariffs are taxes on imports or goods into a country or region. This is one of the oldest forms of government involvement in trading activities. Tariffs are implemented for two clear economic purposes. They provide revenue for the government and they improve economic returns for firms and suppliers of domestic industries that face competition from foreign imports. This protection comes at an economic cost to consumers who pay higher prices for imported goods and to the economy as a whole through the unproductive allocation of resources to the import competing domestic industry. Therefore, "since 1948, when average tariffs on manufactured goods exceeded 30 percent in most developed economies, those economies have sought to reduce tariffs on manufactured goods through several rounds of negotiations under the General Agreement on Tariffs Trade (GATT)." (Carbaugh, 2000) When coupled with other barriers to trade they have often constituted formidable barriers to market access from foreign producers. Tariffs, that are set high enough, can block all trade and act just like import bans. Non-Tariff Barriers (NTB) are also a tactics that are used to regulate the amounts of imports. Voluntary export restraint (VER) "allows…
