What is an 'Embargo'. An embargo is a government order that restricts commerce or exchange with a specified country or the exchange of specific goods. An embargo is usually created as a result of unfavorable political or economic circumstances between nations. The restriction looks to isolate the country and create difficulties for its governing body, forcing it to act on the underlying issue.
Embargoes are generally issued due to an existing or anticipated shortage of a commodity or good, and issued for reasons regarding international policy. Essentially, an embargo limits and even prohibits certain goods from leaving one country and entering the sanctioned country. In summary, an embargo is a levy imposed due to conflicting views on foreign and or international policy.
