Para-tariffs

Para-tariffs in Global Commerce Policy

In this regard, para-tariffs is: a name sometimes used for charges levied on imports instead of, or in addition to, tariffs. These can consist of service fees, additional import surcharges or other fees levied on imported products inside the market. Para-tariffs are illegal if they are levied on imports inside the market, but not at the same time on domestic products. Their imposition in such cases would be a denial of national treatment.[1]
