Potential Exports and Nontariff Barriers to Trade: India National Study - Paperback

by Asian Development Bank (Author)

This publication explores how India could boost its exports by addressing nontariff trade barriers.

It focuses on sanitary and phytosanitary measures and technical barriers to trade, and on export products that have the potential to increase their market share in Bangladesh, Bhutan, Maldives, Nepal, and Sri Lanka. It considers options including legal reforms, the upgrade of quality standards and laboratory equipment, and institution building of accrediting bodies and conformity assessment bodies. Practical recommendations suggest ways forward for both the public and private sectors.
