Demystifying the Role of ‘Barriers at and behind the Borders’in India: A Case Study of Pharmaceutical Products
Nilanjan Banik, Professor, Bennett University
Surendar Singh, Fellow, CUTS International
With
the significant reduction of tariff barriers to international trade,
other forms of barriers, such as barriers at the border and behind
borders are considered as the major challenge to the growth of global
trade. These barriers are often high in developing countries as compared
to developed ones and arise due to divergent regulatory frameworks,
inefficient customs procedures, cumbersome export import procedures,
administrative hassles, hidden taxes, congestion fee and sub-optimal
trade infrastructure.
Against
this backdrop, this Discussion Paper attempts to understand the role of
different types of barriers in the import pharmaceutical products in
India. It analyses the effect of three main barriers: tariff barriers;
non-tariff barriers; and barriers at the border with a particular focus
on understanding the role of procedural and regulatory impediments.
