States may need to
intervene in international trade for economic, political and social reasons. In
this study, the effects of tariffs on international trade were investigated by
using statistical techniques. According to the test results, the average of trade
openness for countries with medium and high tariff complexity is equal. On the
other hand, for countries with low tariff complexity, the average of trade openness
score is statistically higher than those with a commercially clear score of
middle and high tariff complexity. As a result, it can be concluded that the
level of complexity of tariffs adversely affects trade openness, which should
be taken into account when designing international trade policy.
