Trade-related Investment Measures in the United States
Trade-related Investment Measures (trims) in the International Business Landscape
Definition of Trade-related Investment Measures (trims) in the context of U.S. international business and public trade policy: Issues involving restrictions on the operations of foreign firms-requiring, for example, foreign firms to produce a certain percentage of the final product locally or export a certain percentage of their output. Although the TRIMs agreement was less ambitious than the TRIPs agreement, the Uruguay Round did produce the first GATT agreement on investment measures. The Uruguay Round agreement on TRIMs focused on providing national treatment and eliminating quantitative restrictions.
