“…This approach is similar to Carballo et al. (, ), where the time cost of imports is introduced with the assumption that ad valorem trade costs are positively associated with the time for importing goods. If the time for import processing becomes longer, time and cost for storage become larger.…”

“…Martincus, Carballo, and Graziano () investigate the effects of export customs time on firm‐level exports, whereas the effects of import customs time on firm‐level imports are examined in Carballo et al. (, ) and Fernandes, Hillberry, and Alcantara (). These studies found that longer customs times were associated with negative effects on exports and imports.…”

“…Following Hummels and Schaur (), the former is modelled as a direct effect of import processing time on the productivity parameter. However, the latter source is approached in a similar way to Carballo, Graziano, Schaur, and Martincus (, ) where the time cost of imports is introduced assuming that ad valorem trade costs are positively associated with the time spent on importing. By introducing these two sources into the model developed by Kropf and Sauré (), we investigate the effects of import processing time not only on exports but also on export shipment frequency and exports per shipment.…”

How does import processing time impact export patterns?

We examine how import processing time, which is one of the major obstacles in international trade, affects export patterns at the establishment level. Investigating the effect of such time costs on export patterns reveals how smoothness or sluggishness in operations at one stage affects all stages in an international production network. We first discuss the effects of import processing time on exports, export shipment frequency and exports per shipment from a theoretical standpoint. We employ highly detailed customs data for Thailand from 2007 to 2011 to empirically investigate our theoretical predictions. Import processing time is measured using the difference between the dates on which import shipments arrive in ports and when they were released from the container yard. Results suggest that longer import processing times reduce total exports, particularly as a result of decreasing export frequency; this testifies to the importance of time costs in international trade. It is also revealed that negative effects of import processing time on exports per shipment appear in some specific instances, such as in the case of sea transportation. These results imply that the time spent in one stage has significant effects on both upstream and downstream stages in international production networks.

“…Therefore, aggregate indicators may face some challenges. For example, Carballo et al (2016b) show that the time to clear port-of-entry procedures in Peru varies systematically across importers, products and exporters. In addition, estimates of time cost reductions need to be reinterpreted in the presence of clearance time uncertainty.…”

Choked by Red Tape? The Political Economy of Wasteful Trade Barriers

Red-tape barriers (RTBs) are an important source of trade costs, but have received little scholarly attention. Here we take a first step toward a theory of RTBs, and show that their implications are very different from those of more traditional trade barriers.Our model highlights that RTBs have important impacts on the extensive margin of trade, and yields rich predictions on how changes in the political-economic environment and product characteristics affect RTBs. Taking into account the endogenous response of RTBs is crucial to understanding the impact of reductions in tariffs and natural trade costs on the extensive and intensive margins of trade, as well as on welfare.Moreover, the availability of RTBs affects in important ways the tariff commitments that are specified in a trade agreement.
