How the exam will ask it
ಪ್ರಿಲಿಮ್ಸ್
- Non-tariff barriers are trade restrictions other than customs tariffs, such as quotas, technical standards and port or licensing restrictions.
- Duty-free access means goods enter a partner market without customs duty, usually under a bilateral or regional preferential arrangement.
- A joint working group is a bilateral institutional mechanism that sits below the ministerial level to resolve specific issues.
ಮೇನ್ಸ್
GS2 International Relations: India's neighbourhood policy. Persistent trade imbalance and non-tariff barriers, such as port curbs, limit market access for Bangladesh and irritate ties, while India seeks reciprocal access and smoother border trade. The way forward is a time-bound removal of non-tariff barriers, upgraded border infrastructure and regular institutional dialogue, possibly leading to a comprehensive trade agreement.
