What SPS and TBT mean

SPSSanitary and phytosanitary measures

Food safety, animal and plant health

Rules that protect people, animals and plants from risks carried by food, feed, pests and diseases: maximum residue limits, additives and contaminants, quarantine and inspection, and the certificates that go with them.

TBTTechnical barriers to trade

Technical product rules

Technical regulations, standards and conformity assessment for products: specifications, labelling and marking, packaging, and the tests and certificates a product needs before it can be sold.

Commenting on a notification

Comments on a notification go from government to government. If a draft affects your exports, send your comments to your country's WTO SPS or TBT enquiry point before the comment deadline, quoting the document symbol; it forwards them to the member that notified the measure.

Enquiry points are listed on WTO ePing (opens in a new tab)

Get these automatically for your products and markets.

Expodite matches each notification to the markets you export to and the HS codes of your products, and puts the ones that concern you in your Updates centre, with the date comments close.
