Talk:Non-tariff barriers to trade/Archives/2018


Recommended Improvements for this Article

-Expand the leader -List of countries with trade barriers due to tariffs. -Expand the section regarding "Addressing Non Tariff Barriers." -Organize bibliography (I like that these are already organized in list format) but they need corresponding page references -"Examples of Non-Tariff Barriers to Trade" and "Types of Non-Tariff Barriers to Trade" should be in prose format permanently, looks good that way -@MCoidakis
