NON-TARIFF REGULATION MEASURES IN CUSTOMS LAW

Abstract

Necessary to point out that the current system of tariff regulation is a prerequisite for the implementation of an effective customs policy and the implementation by customs authorities of the tasks of ensuring the economic security of the country. However, most countries don’t currently have the ability to actively respond to changes in the terms of trade by reducing or increasing tariff rates. Therefore, against the backdrop of a decrease in the customs and tariff protection of national markets, the role of non-tariff means of foreign trade policy is growing. It is non-tariff measures that are the main tool for protecting the domestic market and the country’s economy from unfair actions of foreign states in the field of foreign trade. The preference given to non-tariff measures is due to the fact that, unlike tariff measures, they do not constitute an additional tax burden for the population.
