View Licensing & PricingThe WTO (est. 1995) administers global trade rules, hosts negotiations, settles disputes, and supports trade for development, covering 98%+ of world trade.
Tariffs are taxes on imports. Higher tariffs protect domestic producers but raise prices and restrict trade; lower tariffs improve market access and reduce costs for consumers and firms.
An FTA reduces or removes trade barriers between members, encouraging trade, investment, and consumer choice. Examples include the EU-Korea FTA and the AfCFTA.
Trade compliance is adherence to import/export laws, customs, valuation, origin, product standards, documentation, and reporting. Strong compliance reduces risk, avoids penalties, and keeps supply chains moving.
The AfCFTA creates a unified African market by progressively eliminating tariffs and simplifying trade rules. It is the largest free trade area by membership and population.
NTBs include quotas, licensing requirements, and technical regulations. While many serve legitimate policy goals, discriminatory or excessive NTBs raise costs and hinder SMEs in developing countries.
Reliable data anchors negotiations, risk analysis, competitiveness assessments, and compliance. Trade decisions without data are guesses with consequences.
Trade can scale clean technologies, encourage low-carbon production, and align incentives with environmental agreements.
GATS is the WTO treaty for trade in services. It promotes transparency and progressive liberalization while preserving policy space for public-interest objectives.
TRIPS sets minimum standards for IP protection to support innovation and trade, with flexibilities to protect public health and development needs.
