Non-tariff barriers have a significant impact on regular trading activities. This study is conducted to determine a relationship between non-tariff barriers and international trade in India. Eleven such factors have been identified and thoroughly discussed in the Indian context. An empirical study has been conducted taking the opinion of experts through convenience sampling method. The primary data is analyzed through multiple linear regression, and results have been discussed. Most of the observed factors encourage trade creation.
