NON-TARIFF BARRIERS
Non-tariff barriers to trade (NTBs) are trade barriers that restrict imports but are not in the usual form of a tariff. Some common examples of NTB 's are anti-dumping measures and countervailing duties, which, although they are called "non-tariff" barriers, have the effect of tariffs once they are enacted.
It is a form of restrictive trade where barriers to trade are set up and take a form other than a tariff. Non-tariff barriers include quotas, levies, embargoes, sanctions and other restrictions, and are frequently used by large and developed economies.
Some of non-tariff barriers are not directly related to foreign economic regulations, but nevertheless they have a significant impact on foreign-economic activity and foreign trade between countries.

Non-tariff barriers are another way for an economy to control the amount of trade that it conducts with another economy, either for selfish or altruistic purposes. Any barrier to trade will create an economic loss, as it does not allow markets to function properly. The lost revenues resulting from the barrier to trade can be called an economic loss.

Types of Non-tariff Barriers

There are several different variants of division of non-tariff barriers.
Some scholars divide between internal taxes, administrative barriers, health and sanitary regulations and government

    Tariffs are taxes on imports or goods into a country or region. This is one of the oldest forms of government involvement in trading activities. Tariffs are implemented for two clear economic purposes. They provide revenue for the government and they improve economic returns for firms and suppliers of domestic industries that face competition from foreign imports. This protection comes at an economic cost to consumers who pay higher prices for imported goods and to the economy as a whole through the unproductive allocation of resources to the import competing domestic industry. Therefore, "since 1948, when average tariffs on manufactured goods exceeded 30 percent in most developed economies, those economies have sought to reduce tariffs on manufactured goods through several rounds of negotiations under the General Agreement on Tariffs Trade (GATT)." (Carbaugh, 2000) When coupled with other barriers to trade they have often constituted formidable barriers to market access from foreign producers. Tariffs, that are set high enough, can block all trade and act just like import bans. Non-Tariff Barriers (NTB) are also a tactics that are used to regulate the amounts of imports. Voluntary export restraint (VER) "allows…

    For governments, the advantage of non-tariff barriers (NTBs) to trade is that their effects are more certain than for tariffs. Now that tariff barriers have been substantially reduced, there has been increasing interest in the ways that non-tariff barriers (NTBs) may distort and restrict international trade. This working paper assesses currently available methods for quantifying NTBs. Calculation of the tariff equivalent of a given NTB for a given economic indicator is complex, and requires a great deal of information. Measures that are equivalent for one indicator will not be so for others, and there is no substitute for NTB-specific expertise.…
