KembaraXtra – Legal Terms – Non-Tariff Barriers
Non-tariff barriers are restrictions on international trade that do not involve customs duties or tariffs.
Instead of taxes on imports, these barriers take the form of special requirements or controls such as licences, quotas, technical regulations, or administrative restrictions.
Such measures can make it more difficult or expensive for foreign goods or services to enter a market.
Although sometimes justified for safety, environmental, or public policy reasons, non-tariff barriers may also operate as hidden forms of trade protection.
