1The Certified International Trade Professional (CITP) designation is awarded by which organization?
A.The World Trade Organization (WTO)
B.The International Chamber of Commerce (ICC)
C.The Forum for International Trade Training (FITT)
D.The Canadian Chamber of Commerce
Explanation: The CITP|FIBP designation is granted by the Forum for International Trade Training (FITT), a Canadian organization that developed the FITTskills program and the global standard for international trade competencies. The WTO and ICC create trade rules but do not award the CITP.
2Which trade policy tool is a tax levied specifically on imported goods as they cross a border?
A.A subsidy
B.A tariff
C.A quota
D.An embargo
Explanation: A tariff is a tax or duty imposed on imported (and occasionally exported) goods, raising their price and generating revenue or protecting domestic industries. Quotas, embargoes, and subsidies are non-tariff or financial measures rather than border taxes.
3A non-tariff barrier that sets a numerical limit on the quantity of a particular good that may be imported during a given period is called a:
A.Tariff-rate ceiling
B.Countervailing duty
C.Anti-dumping duty
D.Quota
Explanation: A quota restricts the physical quantity or value of a good that can be imported in a period, limiting supply regardless of price. Countervailing and anti-dumping duties are tariff-type remedies, not quantitative limits.
4The World Trade Organization's principle that requires a member to extend any trade advantage granted to one member to all other members is known as:
A.National treatment
B.Most-Favoured-Nation (MFN) treatment
C.Reciprocity
D.Special and differential treatment
Explanation: Most-Favoured-Nation (MFN) treatment requires that a tariff or trade concession given to one WTO member be applied equally to all members, preventing discrimination among trading partners. National treatment, by contrast, governs equal treatment of foreign and domestic goods once inside the market.
5Under the WTO principle of national treatment, imported goods must be treated:
A.More favourably than domestic goods to encourage trade
B.No less favourably than equivalent domestic goods once they have entered the market
C.Exactly the same as goods from the exporter's home country
D.Subject to higher internal taxes to protect local producers
Explanation: National treatment requires that once imported goods clear customs, they receive treatment no less favourable than like domestic products regarding internal taxes and regulations. This prevents countries from using internal measures to discriminate against imports after tariffs are paid.
6A PESTEL analysis of a foreign market examines Political, Economic, Social, Technological, Environmental and which other category of factors?
A.Logistical
B.Linguistic
C.Legal
D.Logical
Explanation: PESTEL stands for Political, Economic, Social, Technological, Environmental and Legal factors. It is a structured framework for scanning the macro-environment of a target market before entry.
7In Hofstede's framework of cultural dimensions, a society with a high 'power distance' score is characterized by:
A.Strong preference for individual achievement over group loyalty
B.Acceptance of hierarchical, unequal distribution of power
C.High tolerance for ambiguity and uncertainty
D.Emphasis on short-term over long-term orientation
Explanation: High power distance indicates that members of a society accept and expect that power is distributed unequally, with deference to authority and hierarchy. This affects negotiation style, decision-making structures and management expectations in cross-cultural business.
8A high-context culture, as described by Edward Hall, primarily relies on which form of communication?
A.Explicit, detailed written contracts and direct verbal statements
B.Standardized legal documents that minimize interpretation
C.Implicit messages conveyed through relationships, context and non-verbal cues
D.Numeric and data-driven presentations
Explanation: In high-context cultures, much of the meaning is implicit and conveyed through relationships, shared understanding, body language and the surrounding situation rather than explicit words. Low-context cultures, by contrast, favour direct and explicit verbal and written communication.
9Which of the following best describes a country's 'balance of trade'?
A.The total value of its currency reserves held abroad
B.The ratio of foreign direct investment to domestic investment
C.The total government spending on trade promotion
D.The difference between the value of its exports and the value of its imports
Explanation: The balance of trade is the difference between a country's exports and imports of goods (and sometimes services); a surplus occurs when exports exceed imports and a deficit when imports exceed exports. It is a key component of the broader current account.
10The economic theory of comparative advantage holds that a country should specialize in producing goods for which it has:
A.The highest absolute production volume
B.The largest domestic market demand
C.The lowest opportunity cost relative to other goods
D.The greatest natural resource endowment
Explanation: Comparative advantage, developed by David Ricardo, states that a country benefits by specializing in goods it can produce at the lowest opportunity cost relative to other goods, then trading for the rest. This holds even when a country lacks an absolute cost advantage in any product.
