Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The rejection of the plywood shipment by Japanese customs due to the size of the knotholes is an example of a non-tariff barrier to trade in the form of a standard. Standards refer to regulations or requirements imposed by a country or organization on the quality, safety, or technical specifications of products. In this case, the Japanese regulations regarding plywood standards were not met, resulting in the rejection of the shipment.
