Export Restrictions

Export Restrictions and the GATT Policy Negotiations

In relation to the GATT Policy Negotiations, Christopher Mark (1993) provided the following explanation and/or definition of Export Restrictions: While usage varies, this term is often used to denote quantitative limits or charges on exports purely for domestic purposes, such as protecting producers and consumers from temporary shortages of certain materials, promoting processing of raw materials within the producing country, or bolstering export prices by limiting supplies in world markets. They are thus distinguished from export restraints, which are designed primarily to forestall frictions with the exporting country’s major trading partners. US efforts in the Tokyo Round to have GATT rules and disciplines extended to export restrictions were largely unsuccessful. See also export controls andsupply access.

It does not cover developments in many of the United States’ longstanding financial sanctions regimes, which are discussed in detail at (link resource) treasury.gov/resourcecenter/sanctions/Pages/default.aspx. It also does not cover comprehensively developments relating to the export control programs administered by the Commerce Department or the defense trade control programs administered by the State Department.
