1 Tari s versus Non-Tari Barriers Hiau Looi Kee and Cristina Neagu Development Research Group Trade, The World Bank Oct 2011 Work in Progress and Preliminary Kee and Neagu (World Bank) Tari s versus Non-Tari Barriers 10/11 1 / 22
2 Motivations With the dramatic decline in tari s through the successive rounds of multilateral negotiation and unilateral liberalizations, the main trade policy tools could be in the form of non-tari barriers (NTBs) Kee and Neagu (World Bank) Tari s versus Non-Tari Barriers 10/11 2 / 22
3 Examples on commonly used NTBs Origin of materials and parts Import licence fees Customs inspection fees Testing requirement Inspection requirement Direct consignment requirement Requirement to pass through speci ed port Service charges Labelling requirements Certi cation requirement Processing history Systems Approach Temporary geographic prohibition for SP Conformity assessments related to SPS Traceability requirement Certi cation required by the exporting Storage and transports conditions Microbiological criteria on the nal p Quarantine requirement Traceability information requirements Kee and Neagu (World Bank) Tari s versus Non-Tari Barriers 10/11 3 / 22

13 Theories Optimal level of protection Countries may use trade policies to in uence their terms of trade and transfer rents from their trading partners Kee and Neagu (World Bank) Tari s versus Non-Tari Barriers 10/11 6 / 22
14 Theories Optimal level of protection Countries may use trade policies to in uence their terms of trade and transfer rents from their trading partners Level of protection depends on tari s and the ad valorem equivalent (AVE) of NTBs t nij + AVE nij = T nij Kee and Neagu (World Bank) Tari s versus Non-Tari Barriers 10/11 6 / 22
15 Theories Optimal level of protection Countries may use trade policies to in uence their terms of trade and transfer rents from their trading partners Level of protection depends on tari s and the ad valorem equivalent (AVE) of NTBs t nij + AVE nij = T nij Lowering tari s due to multilateral negotiation or unilateral liberalizations implies that NTBs will be increased to keep protection at its optimal level ==> tari s and NTBs could be substitutes Kee and Neagu (World Bank) Tari s versus Non-Tari Barriers 10/11 6 / 22
16 Theories Protection for sale Trade policies can be in uenced by interests parties through lobbies and governments care about social welfare as well as campaign contributions Kee and Neagu (World Bank) Tari s versus Non-Tari Barriers 10/11 7 / 22
17 Theories Protection for sale Trade policies can be in uenced by interests parties through lobbies and governments care about social welfare as well as campaign contributions Level of protection depends on tari s and NTBs t nij + AVE nij = T nij which increases with lobby contributions ==> tari s and NTBs could be complements Kee and Neagu (World Bank) Tari s versus Non-Tari Barriers 10/11 7 / 22
