Límite cuantitativo en valor o en unidades físicas a la exportación de ciertas mercancías impuesto por el país exportador. Es más raro que el contingente o cuota de importación pero tiene sentido para evitar escasez en el mercado interior o estimular al alza de precio de exportación. Ciertos bienes como antigüedades y obras de arte de especial relevancia pueden requerir permiso expreso caso por caso. 4, record 1, Spanish, - cuota%20de%20exportaci%C3%B3n

Actuellement, les importations sont régulées par des contingents tarifaires. En vertu de ces contingents, les tarifs douaniers des importations inférieures à un volume précis (quota) sont faibles ou inexistants (droits à l'importation). Par contre, les importations excédentaires font l'objet de tarifs douaniers très élevés, habituellement considérés prohibitifs. Chaque produit fait l'objet d'une méthode particulière permettant d'attribuer les droits concernant l'importation contingentée aux intervenants. 2, record 2, French, - importation%20contingent%C3%A9e
