2. HOW businesses and managers are affected by the trade barriers?

 Tariff Barriers

A common duty or tariff is the ad valorem, a tax assessed on merchandise

value. In most countries, ad valorem taxes are applied to the value of the
merchandise, plus the cost of insurance and freight. As a result, when issuing an
invoice to foreign buyers it is important to subject them to these costs.

pressure — a hidden and non-quantifiable barrier to trade.

As an exporter, it’s essential to understand trade barriers that affect your

business and consider the resources necessary to overcome the barriers applied
to your products and services
