Purpose:
A survey of exporting companies to India, China, Japan, and the countries of Asean . This is to assist us in understanding what the real barriers to entry in to those markets area, and how those might be overcome. E.g. if the barriers are import tariffs, a free trade agreement/ tariff liberalisation might be the solution. However, if the barriers are of a different form, a free trade agreement might not be the appropriate tool.
