Answer to Question 1

A

Answer to Question 2

Countries that seek to provide high levels of protection to local industries and/or want to increase tariff revenues have often instructed customs officials to use methods that would raise estimates of the values of imports, such as adding a fixed percentage to the listed price of the import to cover the cost of freight and insurance. Often practices such as these would lead to corruption, since importers would seek to cut deals to secure lower valuations and pay lower tariffs. Article VII of the WTO agreement states that tariff systems must conform to commercial realities, and outlaw the use of arbitrary or fictitious customs values.

Answer to Question 3

E
