Trade Policy Measures Consultancy

Trade policy measures are legal and regulatory actions implemented in international trade to protect domestic industries, maintain market balance, or create competitive advantages in specific sectors. These measures can be applied to both import and export operations and typically serve economic, political, or strategic objectives.

Among these, anti-dumping duties are imposed to prevent unfair pricing practices that negatively affect domestic markets. Countervailing duties aim to offset the competitive edge of exporters who benefit from government subsidies by selling at artificially low prices. Safeguard measures are introduced to protect domestic producers from sudden surges in imports that may cause economic harm. Additionally, non-tariff measures such as quotas or import licenses may be used to restrict or regulate the importation of certain products.

Trade policy measures are defined and enforced within the framework of international trade agreements and World Trade Organization (WTO) rules. These measures may impose significant cost and compliance obligations on businesses engaged in foreign trade. Therefore, it is essential for companies to be informed about such measures and to plan their commercial operations accordingly.
