The UK is a member of the European Union and it has no trade barriers when dealing with fellow EU member States. In its dealings with non-EU countries, trade restrictions are largely set by the EU and Great Brittain conforms to them. These barriers sometimes consist of import tariffs - especially when a country is suspected of price dumping, as recently happened with China. But more usual are non-financial trade barriers that have to do with the quality and safety of products, such as:
- technical regulations, standards and conformity assessment procedures
- labelling rules
- poor protection of intellectual property rights and geographical indicators
- misuse of sanitary and phytosanitary measures
- unfair subsidies
- unjustified trade defence measures - such as anti-dumping actions
- discriminatory taxation and other additional fees
- ad hoc bans and prohibitions on imports - eg those implemented on the basis of spurious claims to protect the health and safety of citizens
- non-automatic licensing procedures
- customs procedures
- quantitative restrictions
- government procurement
- restrictions on access to raw materials
- barriers to trade in services and investment
