Guinea: Company Perspectives – An ITC series on non-tariff measures (en)

Guinea is one of the countries most affected by non-tariff measures. An ITC survey of more than 300 companies in Guinea reveals that 95% of them face such obstacles when exporting or importing goods.

Companies suffer from the stringency and complexity of European technical and compliance requirements and from the lack of efficiency and transparency of inspection and taxation procedures at the national and regional level. The survey shows that a large part of trade barriers can be addressed through the simplification and increased transparency of national administrative procedures.
