A tariff is a tax on trade; a quota is a restriction on trade within a certain time or date.
A quota is a limit on the amount of goods a foreign entity is allowed to export to the nation possessing the quota. A subsidy, on the other hand, is money paid directly or indirectly to local producers in order to advantage them in the market place compared to foreign producers which do not receive said subsidy. They are two different ways to shield domestic production from imports.
A tariff is a tax on an imported good. An import quota (as I assume you mean) is a limit on the amount of a good which is allowed to be imported. One regulates price, the other supply.
A economic trade barrier has something to do with the price of goods for example a tariff, but on the other hand a physical trade barrier blocks something like an embargo or blockade.
