FrançaisTrigger price mechanism
Price at which an import causes the importing country automatically to impose a tariff or quota. For example, a country may have a law stating that if an import falls below USD 10 per unit, a tariff is imposed that results in the import becoming USD 13 per unit. Trigger prices are used when the importing country generally wishes to promote free trade but does not want importers to undercut domestic industry.
