ABSTRACT
Now days, due to many times negotiations of lowering the tariffs held within the WTO, many countries have reduced the tariff barriers. But because of lacking the international agreements and rules, non-tariff barriers became more and more popular. To protect domestic production and the employment rate, many countries set a variety of non-tariff barriers to limit their foreign competition. In this context, the trade protection measures in international trade have had great changes. In particular, many countries pay great attention to the technical barriers to trade. With their strong technical strength and the influence of setting global technical regulations, developed countries have created a significant obstacle to our country, especial to Zhejiang-the exporting province.
Starts with the characteristics of technical barriers to trade, this paper analyses the influence of technical barriers to trade on Zhejiang’s foreign trade and put forward some countermeasures by example and theoretical analysis. This article is divided into six chapters. First are introduction and the literature review.
