Trade between countries without tariffs or restrictions is called?

• A. Globalization
• B. Free Trade
• C. Economic Integration
• D. Freedom Of Movement

Answer: (B)

Free trade is trade between countries with little to no tariffs, quotas, or other barriers. When barriers are removed, goods and services can move more freely, allowing each country to specialize in what it does best and consumers to benefit from lower prices and more choices. This concept focuses specifically on how governments regulate cross-border trade in goods and services.

Globalization describes the broader process of increasing interconnectedness across economies, cultures, and information, not just trade rules. Economic integration refers to steps toward closer economic policy coordination (like removing some barriers or creating common markets), but it doesn't automatically mean trade is completely unrestricted. Freedom of movement is about people moving across borders, not trade in goods and services.
