Abstract

This paper analyzed technical barriers for China’s exports, from the perspective of different types of technical barriers, in different industries and in different countries, and examined the impact and coping strategy of technical barriers. Agricultural export from China encountered technical barriers for the reason of food security, based on SPS and regulation of import countries. Strategic industry encountered intellectual property barriers. Manufacturing exports is under scrutiny for personal and health safety. In European Union, RAPEX and RASFF hold higher standards than other regions. In the United States, FDA warned against certain food products, medical supplies and clinical appliances exported from China; CPSC recalled Chinese products for product quality and safety; 337 investigations emphasized on infringement of patent rights. Japan and other developed countries also recalled or notified warnings against manufacturing goods for safety and food products for pollution. With its discrimination feature, the negative impact of technical barriers could lead to distortion of trade and welfare, and impair economic growth in the long run. Coping strategies, such as warning system, legal expertise and technical support, cooperation amongst trade partners, could help mitigate technical barriers and facilitate international trade.
