Exercise 1

A fast-growing U.S. beverage company wishes to import mineral water and has asked you, its vice president for purchasing, to recommend foreign sources. You know that sources exist in France, Canada, and Australia. What U.S. trade laws should you consider in choosing among these sources?
Suppose that you determine that the best source of mineral water for your purposes is France, but a tariff makes imports from that country noncompetitive. How could you seek a reduction in this tariff?
