Abstract

Nontariff barriers (NTBs) refer to the wide and heterogeneous range of policy interventions other than border tariffs that affect and distort trade of goods, services and factors of production. Common taxonomies of NTBs include market-specific trade and domestic policies such as import quotas, voluntary export restraints, restrictive state-trading interventions, export subsidies, countervailing duties, technical barriers to trade (TBT), sanitary and phytosanitary (SPS) policies, rules of origin and domestic content requirements schemes. Extended taxonomies also include macro-policies affecting trade. No taxonomy can be complete since NTBs are defined as what they are not (Deardorff and Stern, 1998). This article is complemented by related articles on ANTIDUMPING, BORDER EFFECTS, COUNTERTRADE, GRAVITY EQUATION, TARIFF VERSUS QUOTA, and TRADE COSTS. Deardorff and Stern (1998) suggest the following taxonomy with five categories.
