1. The technical content of metal packaging products continues to increase.
As the technical content of products that countries participate in trade continues to increase, the technical barriers adopted by countries continue to upgrade. It is mainly manifested in the production of a large number of new technologies and new products that have promoted the improvement of the technical content in the technical standards.
2. The environmental protection factors of packaging are more prominent.
With the progress of society and the increasing awareness of global environmental protection, the concept of "products are not harmful to the environment" has become the mainstream trend guiding production and consumption. Countries, especially developed countries, have increasingly strict environmental protection requirements, and my country's metal packaging products with relatively low environmental protection standards are often rejected from developed countries. For example, the poor emptying capacity of my country's standard steel drums has become a resistance to exports.
3. The types and quantities of packaging are increasing, and the products and countries involved are increasing.
Although with the gradual internationalization of my country's metal packaging standards, some technical trade barriers will be eliminated, but with the development of science and technology and stricter safety, health, and environmental protection requirements, new technical trade barriers will continue to appear. For now only, the technical trade barriers for metal packaging include technical standards and technical regulations, quality certification, export inspection and quarantine regulations, etc.
4. The impact on international trade has become increasingly prominent.
On the positive side, technical trade barriers help to some extent promote the improvement of the technological level of countries in the world. However, the makers of international standards are often those developed countries that dominate the world's multilateral trading system and have leading advantages in the field of science and technology. Most international standards are difficult to achieve by companies in developing countries under current conditions. , Making them helpless in the face of these technical barriers.
5. Increasing international trade disputes.
In the past, international trade disputes were often caused by tariff trade barriers, but now international trade disputes caused by technical trade barriers continue to occur.
