Summary/Abstract: This paper analyses how different types of technical barriers to trade (TBTs) imposed on imports of information andcommunications technology (ICT) goods globally affected the value and volume of imported goods during the periodof 1996–2018. Key words cited in the TBTs give an indication of the aims behind the imposition of TBTs. The resultsindicate that TBTs have a strong positive impact on the value of imports. While many key words cited in TBTs notifiedto the World Trade Organization (WTO) affect the value and volume of imports in a positive way, certain other TBTsfunction as trade barriers.
