The Influence of Tariff and Non-Tariff Implementation on International Trade in the Textile Industry on Madura Island, East Java Province

This research explores the impact of tariff and non-tariff barriers on international trade within the textile industry in Madura Island, East Java Province. The study assumes that trade policies, both in the form of tariffs and non-tariff barriers, have significant effects on the competitiveness of the local textile industry in the global market. Data were collected through a quantitative survey of 100 textile industry players involved in international trade. A multiple linear regression method was employed to analyze the impact of independent variables (tariff and non-tariff barriers) on the dependent variables (exports and imports). The analysis results indicate that tariffs significantly reduce textile export volumes, while non-tariff barriers have a more significant impact on import volumes. These findings provide valuable insights for policymakers regarding the importance of balancing tariff and non-tariff policies to enhance the competitiveness of the textile industry in the international market.
