Along with the standard procedures set up for import/export businesses, Western companies (and most others, as well) must deal with tariffs¹, unless the trade is between members of economic blocks such as NAFTA (North America), EEC(Europe), etc. The global organization dealing² with international trade (i.e. import/export) is the WTO.
根据进出口业务的标准程序，西方公司（其他公司也是）必然要处理关税问题，除非是同一经济体成员之间的贸易，如NAFTA(北美自由贸易区)，EEC(欧盟)等。
处理全球国际贸易（进口、出口）的世界组织是WTO(世界贸易组织).
