In addition to tariff and trade remedies, the Tariff Commission advises on what areas?

• A. Non-tariff measures and international trade issues
• B. Monetary policy
• C. Education policy
• D. Agricultural subsidies

Answer: (C)

The main idea here is understanding the broader scope of the Tariff Commission’s advisory role beyond just setting tariffs and addressing trade remedies. In addition to tariff measures, the Commission assesses non-tariff measures and international trade issues. Non-tariff measures include policies like import licensing, quotas, standards, labeling, licensing requirements, sanitary or phytosanitary rules, and other regulatory barriers that can affect trade flows. By analyzing how these measures influence prices, competitiveness, and trade balances, the Commission helps shape policy choices and ensures consistency with international obligations.

Monetary policy is the realm of the central bank and financial authorities, not tariff policy. Education policy falls under the education ministry or equivalent, not trade policy. Agricultural subsidies are typically handled within the agriculture or budgetary domains, though they can intersect with trade, they are not the primary focus of the Tariff Commission’s advisory work.
