We examine the tariff equivalent estimates of technical barriers to trade (TBTs) in the case of Japan’s phytosanitary measures against fire blight in connection with apple imports. We construct a confidence interval for the tariff equivalent estimates of the TBTs using the Yue, Beghin, and Jensen (2006) model. The results show that the tariff equivalent estimates of TBTs are not statistically different from zero.
