- TABLE NOTE: The actual 1986 NTS trade coveraog ratios _t_ o total imports ot the industrial countries listad above have been decomposed into trade coverage ratios for some of the more Importan **t** ypes of nontarlif barriers. These ratios (shown in parentheses) are as follows: tariff quotas (1.2); variable isport levies (2.4); antidumping and countervailing duties 11.21; reterence authorization **import** prices 10.5); requiremonts **minimum** (4.1); non-automatic Import prices (1.3); import licensing "voluntarye price restraintS (4.11; quantitativo 10.5); special import taxes 10.7); importrestrictions other than WfA or textile quotas (4.7); "voluntary" export restraints on volumes (5.3); WA restrictions _t0.21;_ other quantitative textile restrictions i0.5). lrade covorage ratios for other Type 11 NiB1s were not calculated. See lable 6 and 7 for a similar decomposition of U.S. and JapanOs trode barriers.
