Removing non-tariff barriers Sample Clauses

Removing non-tariff barriers. The ability to gain and benefit from market access due to preferential tariffs also depends on successful compliance with the non-tariff barriers of the importing countries, most of which are in the form of mandatory standards due to Sanitary and Phytosanitary (SPS) and Technical Barrier to Trade (TBT) requirements. These non-tariff barriers (NTBs) represent a challenge to exporters as well as importers, and raise the price of traded goods. Many NTBs have primarily non-trade objectives, such as the protection of public health or the environment, while also affecting the trade factor through procedural requirements, and are WTO-compliant. Compliance with SPS and TBT measures is necessary, where applicable, in order to enter the market. One of the impediments is related to lack of awareness among exporters about the SPS and TBT measures in the importing countries. APTA realizes that understanding the uses and implications of these trade policy instruments is essential for the formulation and implementation of effective market access strategies. Now that tariff measures are being reduced through the four rounds of negotiations, interest is increasing in the ways that NTBs may distort and restrict trade among APTA members. APTA also specifies how to address the non-tariff barriers: “Each Participating State shall take appropriate measures, consistent with its development needs and objectives, for the gradual relaxation of non-tariff measures which may affect the importation of products covered by its National List of Concessions. Issues relating to technical barriers to trade and sanitary and phytosanitary measures among Participating States 1 Full cumulation takes into account all the operations conducted within the countries that are members to an agreement – even if they are carried out with non-originating material. Thus, there is no more restriction of having to use only originating materials and components for the final good. shall be dealt with, as far as practicable, in accordance with the WTO provisions on these subjects. Participating States shall also make available to one another, on a transparent basis, a list of non-tariff measures existing on conceded products.”
