The game removes the 'offer' option when any foreign-made fortress goods are selected, so it should be easy enough to remove the option when any of the caravan's goods are selected.

I did do a search on this and found a matching topic, but it was from 2006 so I think it's okay to suggest it again.

I could actually see this reducing the number of newcomers to the game that accidentally offer off their trade goods instead of trading. I like it.

I'm for Sutremaines suggestion.  As long as there are still ways to please foreign leaders.  As long as diplomacy and capital formation isn't hindered by its removal.  I understand the need to offer only locally grown crops and not (foreign) made things.  But I don't understand why my embark choices are considered (foreign).  Do you?  It is all very complex, and I wish I had a better explanation on the wiki to go from.  But in so much as reducing the frustration and aggravation levels on the players part, its worth changing.

I'd actually go one further and prohibit the enslavement of the brokers, or anyone who trades in subcomponent metals, when the endproduct metal is banned by a noble.  That is very frustrating.  What is also very frustrating is losing a good broker, to it, when CULLING is on.  Hows he dealing in contraband when culling filter is ON?  Thats what I wanna know.  Thanks.  Sorry for the highjack. 
 
Sincerely,
Knutor

when I first started playing, I made this mistake. I hadn't read the whole wiki page first. It could be helpful to people who are getting their first caravan.

Somewhat unrelated, I thought making import deals with  the liaison was giving me the goods I selected, instead of making the caravan bring more of that the next year. so maybe there could be something to clear that up, like "import agreements with XXXXX for next winter" on the top of the screen.

But I don't understand why my embark choices are considered (foreign). 

They are produced in the mountainhome. As such, they are not produced in your fortress, and therefore foreign.
