National treatment (NT) is an important policy of WTO. NT means
All countries must not discriminate between imported and domestic product
Incorrect Answer WTO members must not discriminate between imported and domestic product
Incorrect Answer Exported products of a WTO member state must not be discriminate by other member’s via-a-vis domestic products
