What strategies may EU traders use to overcome trade barriers?
31-05-2022

Recently, the European Commission (EC) terminated the examination procedure concerning obstacles to trade applied by Mexico (see Commission implementing decision (EU) 2022/161, 3.2.2022). This was because the dispute regarding Tequila export licenses was resolved in favour of EU exports by domestic courts in Mexico. The example reveals that exporters can cope with trade barriers in several ways: in courts, and through complaints to the EC.

Trade defence instruments (TDIs): what EU importers and exporters should know
11-09-2021

The European Commission has published its 39th Annual Report on the use of trade defence instruments (TDIs) in 2020. The TDIs are applied to prevent unfair trade practices, mainly cheap imports due to dumping or subsidies, which harm EU producers. However, EU importers, especially SMEs, are often caught by a newly launched TDI unprepared and not aware of the unfair trade. The price of unawareness is high - the amount of import duties to be paid may be similar to the price of the goods themselves.

18-07-2020

This text was inspired by the article “What you need to know about the EORI number and national differences in EU countries?” by Jovita Dobrovalskienė in the 2-nd issue of the CCRM journal. In India, there is the Importer Exporter Code (IEC) used for similar purposes as the EORI code in the EU. Its use is even more extensive – there are various export promotion schemes and other situations where the use of the IEC is mandatory.
