Animal products, food products and vegetable products are mostly protected through NTMs

where the most common forms of NTMs are SPS, technical barriers and trade related investment

measures. For example, almost all of the import value of animals are protected with SPS and

technical barriers while some animal product items are protected through trade related

investment measures. Majority of food products and vegetable products are protected through

SPS measures where a large fraction of vegetable products are protected with technical barriers

to trade as well (Table 4.34).
