Price-control measures, including additional taxes and charges

Measures implemented to control or affect the prices of imported goods 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 tariff measures that increase the cost of imports in a similar manner, that is, by a fixed percentage or by a fixed amount. They are also known as para-tariff measures.
