Abstract
In the light of continued progress on global trade liberalization, the increasingly serious trade barriers have gradually become obstacles to the free trade of forest products. This paper reviews the authoritative literature, the key forms, features of trade barriers and their effects on China’s export trade and around the world in forestry products, which offers a baseline in the study of the relevant questions in order to systemically counter impacts of trade barriers on the trade of China’s forestry products for it is a vital section of international trade.
