Quotas are a nontariff restriction that limits the quantity of a particular good that can be imported into a country, thereby discouraging imports. Taxes (A) and customs duties (D) are forms of tariffs that may increase the cost of importing goods, but they do not necessarily discourage imports. Ad valorem duty (B) is another type of tariff that is based on the value of the imported good, but again, it does not necessarily discourage imports.
