Global Trade and its Barriers

What’s the conception behind trading?

The trading concept is centered on the straightforward action of the exchange of capital, goods, and services between traders. The simple trade between two traders is called as bilateral trade or clearing trade and if these deals take place between more than two parties, is called as multilateral trade.

Now let us deal with the subject of what global trade is? It is described as exchanging of goods and services or both, between two or more traders across international borders or territories.

The country for the purpose of importing and for doing global business normally uses the following three barriers:

1. Tariff Barriers
This is the trade barriers put on imports in the form of taxes, duties etc. As a result of which the imports are fewer and the cost rank of imported goods climb up and the demand for them reduces.

2. Non Tariff Barriers
This is the trade barriers that restrict imports but are not in the usual form of a tariff. A fix quantity is restricted for the importing goods that make the cost level of the imported products high and the supply of overseas goods become limited.

3. Voluntary Constraints
The last trade barrier is the one in which the country itself voluntarily discontinues the incoming goods. As a result of this barrier the country has authority to discontinue the imports coming frequently into the nation and restrict the competition of the overseas goods with the local industries.


These three kinds of trade barriers should be taken into consideration when selecting to trade globally. Mostly lower developed nations and the developing countries uses these sorts of trade barriers for their global trade and international business.

The benefits of these barriers are as follows:-

• Country receives foreign exchange by placing Tariff and non-Tariff barriers.

• The local industry of the nation is safeguarded by the overseas competitive industries.

• Less of products are imported into the country as a result of which customer also buys local items.

• The currency remains in the country as a result of which government expands profits in the form of revenue.

Re: You can now trade stock with your twitter account - A nice idea for active traders who don't mind having their trades in the public domain. The biggest drawback seems to be that you still have to go into e-Trade to complete the transaction. That removes what I thought would be the biggest advantage of stock-trading via Twitter - the ability to trade quickly and instantaneously while on the go... On the other hand, having to confirm trades on e-Trade does mean that you can pull out of a deal if you have second thoughts!

Re: e-Commerce and e-Payment providers - Hi GT, I was always very reluctant to trust the Internet at all in the early days until I became a marketer and had to show a bit of faith. Now it is second nature to many people and I use PayPal for virtually all my transactions. Like Michelle I use Global Exchange for one of my affiliate programs but other than that it is PayPal for me. regards, Mal.
