Along with the standard procedures set up for import/export businesses, Western companies (and most others, as well) must deal with tariffs, unless the trade is between members of economic blocks such as NAFTA (North America), EEC(Europe), etc. The global organization dealing with international trade (i.e. import/export) is the WTO.
根據(jù)進出口業(yè)務(wù)的標準程序，西方公司（其他公司也是）必然要處理關(guān)稅問題，除非是同一經(jīng)濟體成員之間的貿(mào)易，如NAFTA(北美自由貿(mào)易區(qū))，EEC(歐盟)等。處理全球國際貿(mào)易（進口、出口）的世界組織是WTO(世界貿(mào)易組織).
