| 单词 | discrimination |
| 释义 | discrimination I See price discrimination, racial discrimination, and sex discrimination II trade Treatment of imports on a different basis according to their country of origin. In a free-trade area, customs union, or common market, imports from non-members are subject to tariffs while imports from members are admitted tax-free. Even treating free-trade areas and common markets as single trading units, it is possible to discriminate between different non-members: there may be preferences in tariffs for goods from particular countries, or special quota arrangements applying to particular sources of imports. Discrimination is contrasted with the principle of most favoured nation (MFN) treatment, by which goods from all countries are admitted on the most favourable terms granted to any supplier. While the General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade (GATT) and now the World Trade Organization (WTO) commit countries in principle to non-discrimination, most world trade is in fact subject to various forms of discrimination. |
