Non-Tariff Measures Clause Samples

The Non-Tariff Measures clause defines the rules and obligations regarding restrictions or regulations on trade that are not related to tariffs, such as quotas, licensing requirements, or technical standards. In practice, this clause outlines how parties must handle these types of trade barriers, often requiring notification, transparency, or mutual consultation before implementing such measures. Its core function is to prevent the use of non-tariff barriers as disguised restrictions on trade, thereby promoting fair and predictable market access between the parties.
