F  PRICE CONTROL MEASURES INCLUDING ADDITIONAL TAXES AND CHARGES


Measures implemented to control or affect the prices of imported goods in order to, inter alia,: support the domestic price of certain products when the import prices of these goods are lower; establish the domestic price of certain products because of price fluctuation in domestic markets, or price instability in a foreign market; or to increase or preserve tax revenue. This category also includes measures, other than tariffs measures, that increase the cost of imports in a similar manner, i.e. by fixed percentage or by a fixed amount: they are also known as para-tariff measures.
