Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Agricultural Protection by Nontariff Trade Barriers: For A. M. Release September 10, 1963
Tariffs are well-known means by which governments raise revenue and protect both agricultural and nonagricultural industries. However, much less is known by the general public of the nontariff trade barriers that obstruct commerce.
Many countries continue to use import licensing or other controls to regulate foreign exchange payments because of continuing balance of pay ments problems. Many others, where balance of payments is not a serious problem, nevertheless retain foreign exchange regulations or other non tariff trade controls applicable to imports of farm products.
The term nontariff trade controls as used in this analysis includes all forms of import controls applicable to agricultural products, other than (1) import tariffs generally recognized as falling in the category of customs duties, and (2) prohibitions on the importation of unwholesome commodities such as products dangerous to human life, or capable of disseminating disease among domestic plants or animals.
