Along with the standard procedures set up for import/export businesses, Western companies (and most others, as well) must deal with tariffs, unless the trade is between members of economic blocks such as NAFTA (North America), EEC(Europe), etc. The global organization dealing 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).
