Thanks for your help

Yes, you can. You have to have trade level 4 though. Just send a diplomat to the appropriate country and in diplomatic screen is an option; "refuse trade".
Remeber, you will lose 1 stabillity point, 1 ducat of trade research per month and you will give the other country a casus belli against you.

Refusing trade is not always as advantageous as it might seem at first. Apart from the normal costs involved (stability loss, give CB to other country, deduction from trade investment) there is also a change in the venues to which trade goes. Even if the trade embargo is the random event (i.e. no penalties) you will still see the trade value decrease as other countries provinces move to their own or more favourable trading venues.

I believed when another country "embargoed" you, you could refuse trading with this country without cost or penalities...Am I wrong?

Ehm, where do you get this from ?

No idea where I got this from..Perhaps a misreading of the rules, perhaps a faulty post I read in a forum, perhaps my own imagination..

However, I believe it does make sense to block somone who already blocked you without a penalty. You did not start the problem

If it bothers you so much, DoW and conquer his CoT .. problem solved.

Of course, if you're Nubia, and Japan is blocking your trade ... that might not be so easy.

It's just an opportunity to excel.

But if you are Russia, and, say, Poland is blocking your trade, then...
