Abstract: Barriers to trade are known to be large due to visible and invisible practices, which directly affect transportation landed cost. The intra-regional trade statistics clearly show the Israeli domination over Jordanian intra-regional trade with the West Bank (Palestine). The aim of this study was to show that the Government of Israel is imposing a non-tariff measure (NTM) on imports to the West Bank through King Hussein Bridge which is a higher landed cost than imports to the West Bank from Israel (through check points), which is evidence that the NTM is trade-restrictive.
