Non-tariff barriers impacting imports at Mexico-US border
The University of Arizona (UA), Rogers College of Law recently published a TradeLab report about non-tariff barriers to trade.
Inspections and Non-Tariff Barriers on “Perishable Imports” at the Mexico-US Border: Legal Limits and Best Practices focuses on the impact these non-tariff restrictions on commodities have on imported fresh produce. The report was created by law students Derek Brewer, Brien Brockbank, Leon Kuntz, Tusa Rutherford and Ekaterina Shkarbuta, as well as teaching fellow Lauren Robbins and Professor Sergio Puig.
During the Fresh Produce Association of the Americas (FPAA,) Spring Policy Summit 2021, a session was dedicated to the breakdown of the report and potential paths forward.
