NON-TARIFF BARRIERS TO MARKET ACCESS AND INVESTMENT IN CHINA Sample Clauses

NON-TARIFF BARRIERS TO MARKET ACCESS AND INVESTMENT IN CHINA. Given the reform process being undertaken by China at the present time, most tariff barriers will be reduced quite significantly through their WTO processes. Non-tariff barriers will therefore represent the key area of interest for the forest and timber industry during the negotiations of the proposed Australia-China FTA. These barriers largely arise from the processes for recognition of the quarantine protocols, certification and labelling standards, product standards and specifications, the Rules of Origin, and the legislative and legal system for regulating investment and trade with China. The processes of trade liberalisation also require that any domestic assistance to industry is consistent with WTO obligations and the nature of assistance provided by Governments should be considered as part of the FTA negotiations.
