Case Studies of Costs and Benefits of Non-Tariff Measures
Cheese, Shrimp and Flowers
This report applies a cost-benefit analysis to quantify the economic effects of non-tariff measures in the agri-food sector. Three case studies are presented to demonstrate how such analysis can help identify least-cost solutions of Non-Tariff Measures (NTMs) designed to ensure that imported products meet domestic requirements. The present analysis examines benefits and costs for the different domestic and foreign stakeholders involved, thus taking a broader view that goes beyond evaluating the trade impact alone.
Keywords: food safety, international trade, non-tariff measures, plant health, trade policy
