Chapter 3 describes trade control measures in terms of tariff measures, price controls, financial measures, quality controls, and technical measures. Chapter 4 examines trade and macroeconomic policies affecting exports through direct export policies, tariff-induced biases against exports, and exchange rate policies affecting the international competitiveness of exports.
