- During a war, the most commonly used type of trade barrier between the warring countries is an embargo.
- An embargo is an official ban on trade or other commercial activity with a particular country. This is a legal prohibition on commerce with the targeted nation, and it's often utilized as an instrument of foreign policy and warfare.
- Embargoes can be designed to restrict imports, exports, or both, with the intent to weaken the adversary's economy, limit its ability to acquire weapons and other goods necessary for warfare, and to express political or ethical opposition.
