Difference Between Bilateral And Regional Trade Agreements

Each agreement covers five areas. First, it eliminates tariffs and other trade taxes. This allows companies in both countries to gain a price advantage. The best way to operate is for each country to specialize in different sectors. To combat dumping, countries apply “anti-dumping duties” on imports of dumped products. [A] the importing country may apply an anti-dumping duty on imported products when goods are sold at a specified price on the domestic market of the exporting country and those products are sold on the market of the importing country at a lower price; (2) a domestic industry is seriously injured in the importing country; and (3) there is a causal link between dumping and material injury. The maximum customs duty that can be imposed under WTO rules is the difference between these prices. International agreements on cross-border trade in goods and services shall be based on the reciprocal nature of the respective rights and obligations of the Parties and shall aim at achieving mutual benefits for each of them.
