DROIT DOUANE NOMINAL [1 record]

Record 1 2025-09-11

English

Subject field(s)
  • Customs and Excise
  • Foreign Trade
DEF

The tariff rate appearing in a country's tariff schedule for a given product.

CONT

Many analysts are turning their interest to non-tariff measures (NTMs) or trade facilitation because nominal tariffs seem too low to make a difference, 5% being sometimes presented as the threshold below which a difference in nominal tariffs does not matter anymore.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Douanes et accise
  • Commerce extérieur
DEF

Taux de droit indiqué dans la liste tarifaire pour un produit donné.

CONT

De nombreux analystes reportent à présent leur attention sur les mesures non tarifaires (MNT) ou la facilitation des échanges, car les droits de douane nominaux semblent trop faibles pour faire une différence, 5 % étant parfois présenté comme la limite au‑dessous de laquelle une différence de droits nominaux n'a plus d'importance.
