Abstract
Trade coverage ratios are calculated to assess the 1989 incidence of non-tariff measures (NTMs) on imports of major industrial nations. Recent trends in NTM use are evaluated. Industrial nations are found to make heavy use of NTMs to regulate trade flows. Overall, about 24% of all imports are found to be covered by one or more NTM. Considerable changes in NTM use have occurred over the 1986-1989 period. The major factor responsible for this trend is the increased reliance placed by the United States on the use of antidumping/countervailing duty actions and voluntary export restraints.
