Soft infrastructures, especially non-tariff measures, have been considered the most important methods of facilitating trade glob-ally since the Uruguay Round reduced tariff barriers. Today’s revolution of international trade is concerned with customs and trade procedures. Now, the main mechanisms for facilitating trade cover transparency, predictability and consistency of procedures, formalities, as well as rules and laws relating to exports and imports. Improving worldwide coordination and cooperation in international trade and related services would reduce the trans-action costs, fostering the growth of global transactions.
