Act of prohibition or isolation (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

embargo

(Other definitions for embargo that I've seen before include "Official prohibition as on trade" , "Ban; prohibition" , "Block" , "Restraint - prohibition" , "Trade sanction" .)

I've seen this clue in the Sydney Morning Herald.
