Yes.
WTO members cannot use the Most Favored Nation (MFN) principle when they engage in preferential trade agreements, such as free trade areas or customs unions, which allow them to offer lower tariffs and better trade terms to specific members without extending those same benefits to all WTO members. Additionally, countries can also grant special treatment to developing countries under certain conditions, such as the Generalized System of Preferences (GSP), which permits them to offer lower tariffs without applying the MFN principle to all.
