What is Quota?

A quota is a government-imposed limit on the quantity of a good or service that can be imported or exported.

There are two main types of quotas: absolute quotas and tariff-rate quotas

Absolute quotas set a fixed limit on the quantity of a good or service that can be imported or exported. 

Tariff-rate quotas set a lower limit on the quantity of a good or service that can be imported or exported, and a higher limit that’s subject to a higher tariff.
