Focusing on the major economies of Australia, China, Japan, New Zealand, and South Korea, this study provides a detailed mapping of Non-Tariff Measures (NTMs). As traditional tariffs decrease, NTMs have become the primary instruments of trade policy, often acting as hidden barriers. This book categorizes various regulations, including technical barriers to trade and sanitary measures, evaluating their impact on regional trade integration. The research highlights the need for transparency and regulatory convergence among RCEP members to maximize the benefits of the trade agreement. It serves as a vital resource for understanding the complex regulatory environment that businesses must navigate when operating within these influential East Asian and Pacific markets.
