Abstract: Since the formation of the World Trade Organization (WTO) in 1995, customs tariff rates have been constantly decreasing. The agreement of the WTO member countries to continue the GATT course for further reduction and partial cancellation of customs duties was an important result of the Uruguay Round of multilateral trade negotiations regarding tariff liberalization. As a result, the weighted average level of customs duties on manufactured goods declined in all countries. Further tariff liberalization took place due to the growing number of multilateral, regional and bilateral trade agreements. The inability to regulate imports by increasing import duties stimulated the search by virtually all countries of other effective instruments for protecting national markets. As a result, as the general level of customs tariffs was reduced, the protectionist role of non-tariff methods (NTM) for regulating foreign trade increased.
