Abstract

International Trade Standards in Jordanian Legislation is a study of the Jordanian laws and regulations that affect international trade. Even though Jordan has signed the General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade and thereby agreed to open its borders to international trade, it has effectively kept many non-tariff barriers to trade. Other policies and regulations have resulted in the rising cost of imports and have acted as protectionist measures for domestic industries. The study analyzes the effect of various laws and regulations on international trade and assesses them in terms of Jordan's obligations under GATT. In addition, the study also looks at the trade-related laws and policies that do serve the interest of free trade and seeks to make affirming statements regarding these laws in the hope that they may serve as models for future legislation. This essay is aimed at identifying and evaluating the totality of laws and regulations in Jordan that affect international trade. It is hoped that the results of this study can be used to create awareness among policymakers and also in the review of specific laws that inhibit free trade.
