Of course one might wish for a one-sentence deal like "There shall be no import taxes on good from any party to this agreement nor shall any party to this agreement subsidize their goods to the detriment of other parties." Of course, then there's the question of health and safety regulations, import inspections, what constitutes an import tax and what constitutes a subsidy, and....
