Answer:

quota

Step-by-step explanation:

Based on the information provided within the question it seems that the manufacturer moved to Mexico because of a quota established by the U.S government. A Quota refers to a specific set quantity of something that can be imported, exported, or produced. This is a type of barrier established by the government of a specific location, which in this case is the U.S for the company based in Albany, Georgia. Which caused them to move to Mexico in order to bypass this quota.
