In the context of trade policy tools, Which of the following is considered as non-tariff measure?

I. Anti-dumping measures

II. Technical barriers to trade measures

This question was previously asked in
SSC CHSL 2025 Tier 1 Question Paper (21-Nov-2025) (Shift 1)
The correct answer is

Both I and II

Trade policy tools are broadly classified into tariff measures and non-tariff measures.

Tariff measures are taxes or customs duties levied on imports, whereas non-tariff measures are all other regulatory or policy barriers that restrict or shape trade without being a direct tax.

Anti-dumping measures are actions taken against goods imported at prices below their fair or normal value; because they act through regulation rather than a standard customs duty, they count as a non-tariff measure that protects domestic industry.

Technical barriers to trade, such as mandatory standards, labelling, testing and certification requirements, also restrict imports through regulation and are classic non-tariff measures.

Since both statement I and statement II describe non-tariff measures, both are correct.

Options limiting the answer to only one statement, or to neither, therefore understate the classification.

Hence, the correct answer is Both I and II.
