Due to difference of economy development and technical level, developing countries have much difficulty meeting standard of developed countries, thus, technical trade barriers have been used as the tool of trade protection by developed countries. Vietnamese exports of agricultural products account for a larger proportion of domestic GDP, in export trade, agricultural products are playing an increasingly important role. However, since 2007 years the accession to WTO, when Vietnam enjoys the MFN status, agriculture is facing an unprecedented challenge. It is obvious that Vietnamese exports of agricultural products suffer from foreign technical tariff barriers.
