non-tariff measures

**non-tariff measures**
Non-tariff measures refer to regulatory, procedural, or policy-related restrictions and requirements other than tariffs that countries use to control the amount of trade across their borders. These measures can include quotas, import licensing, standards and regulations, customs procedures, and other administrative barriers that impact the flow of goods and services in international trade. Understanding non-tariff measures is essential for businesses and policymakers to navigate trade compliance and optimize market access.
