Export barriers seafood into international markets
Ai Tran Huu
ABSTRACT
The purpose of this article is to identify the main export barriers and to test empirically their impact on exports of seafood companies, Vietnam, targeting the U.S. market. Technical barriers to trade (TBTs) exist in most industries but are particularly widespread in the international exchange of aquaculture products. Recently, a considerable number of Vietnamese seafood products have been rejected at U.S. ports because they failed to comply with U.S. regulations on environmental amenities and food safety.
Keywords: Export barriers, Export Marketing Performance, Seafood industry, Vietnam.
