Introduction: after receiving reports of chloramphenicol in shrimp and freshwater crayfish imported from China, the US Food and drug administration has begun to strictly check whether the imported shrimp contains residues of this antibiotic China's aquatic products export has encountered many "green barriers" in a short period of time, which once again shows that China's agricultural products export needs to master the "rules of the game" of international trade, and make full use of these rules to protect its own interests According to Beijing modern business daily, China's agricultural exports, including aquatic products, frequently encounter "green barriers", which has become a major obstacle to agricultural exports According to agricultural trade experts, with the signing of the Uruguay Round negotiation package agreement, the application of other trade barrier measures has been limited Some member countries turn to technical barriers to trade, the common means of which is to adopt health measures However, due to the complexity and concealment of technical problems, it is difficult for the damaged countries to respond in a timely and effective manner Therefore, domestic enterprises should be familiar with the internationally accepted "rules of the game" as soon as possible, and constantly improve the quality of agricultural products, so as to "work hard" At the same time, the insiders pointed out that WTO TBT agreement allows WTO members to take measures in line with international standards to inspect and quarantine the quality of certain products, which is a right, but it cannot be abused In the implementation of this right, it is also necessary to insist on non discrimination rather than specifically targeting the products of a certain country.
