Environmental Trade Barrier, that is, a green barrier, refers to a new measure to protect the ecological environment, natural resources and human health as an excuse.Today, LTG GOLDROCK will tell you what are the common methods of environmental barriers ~
The common methods of environmental trade barriers are:
Environmental standard
It is a system that does not only qualify for quality in accordance with certain procedures, but also a system of environmental signs that are conducive to the quality of body health and conducive to protecting the human living environment.Due to the differences in the basis of the environmental signs of various countries, some countries use it to resist foreign products and make it a disguised trade barrier.
Directly restricted import
Import countries are named in the name of protecting the environment, and some pollution -based products are imported by imported additional tax , while some restrict or prohibit their imports, and even implement trade sanctions.
Green packaging system
Its intention is to require packaging materials to save resources, reduce waste, and easily recycle or decompose naturally, and do not pollute the environment.It is now gradually becoming a measure of trade protectionism in developed countries.
Production and processing technology standard
It includes: technical standards for foreign products and prohibiting imports.The formulation of technical standards adopts opaque or translucent state.Set up disorders in testing or verification.
Environmental cost and green subsidy system
In recent years, in order to protect the environment and resources, some developed countries have put environmental and resource costs within the cost, and internalize environmental resources.They believe that export products produced by ignoring environmental quality or reduction of environmental standards have an unfair comparative advantage or environmental subsidy in essence, which constitutes "ecological dumping" and forms unfair competition for high -environment standard product manufacturers.The cost differences caused by the different national environmental policies are balanced by levying anti -dumping taxes or adjusting taxes, thereby forming a new trade barrier.However, some developed countries have transferred serious polluting products to developing countries through multinational companies, increasing the environmental costs of products in developing countries, weakening their competitiveness in the international market or restricting these products into their own countries.
