Answer 1

Yes quotas can be used as trade barriers. If government regulates the import of chinese toys in the markets then this could improve the condition of local manufacturers as it became worse when chinese toys flooded the indian markets.
Due to low cost and new designs of chinese toys , traders were involved in their import as they were highly demanded and due to this the economic condition of large number of local producers worsened. But quotas can help to improve them and therefore they should be used.

Answer 2

as we know earliers when indian industries were growing there was a trade barrier being put up to enhance the growth of indian goods and shops.

therefore from following example we can say that that trade barrier is a necessary thing for the growth of industries

in case of chinese toys,since they have variety of designs and are available in cheap prices than the indian toys people are attracted towards it. putting taxes on the toys helps the indian economy to get profitised and acts like a trade barrier fro which indian merchants can grow well
