Read the given extract and answer the following questions.
Suppose the Indian government puts a tax on import of toys. What would happen?
Those who wish to import these toys would have to pay tax on this. Because of the
tax, buyers will have to pay a higher price on imported toys. Chinese toys will no
longer be as cheap in the Indian markets and imports from China will automatically
reduce. Indian toy-makers will prosper. Tax on imports is an example of trade barrier.
It is called a barrier because some restriction has been set up. Governments can use
trade barriers to increase or decrease (regulate) foreign trade and to decide what
kinds of goods and how much of each, should come into the country. The Indian
government, after Independence, had put barriers to foreign trade and foreign
investment. This was considered necessary to protect the producers within the
country from foreign competition. Industries were just coming up in the 1950s and
1960s, and competition from imports at that stage would not have allowed these
industries to come up.
