Flow charts for tariffs, NTBs, and FDI barriers
November 2015
Note: the following charts show how the barriers for a single
agreement are calculated. The barriers that apply to a trade flow
(say, exports from Viet Nam to Japan) are selected as the lowest
among the barriers calculated under the several trade agreements
that cover the trade flow.
