catalog price.

Explanation:

Catalog price refers to the amount a consumer can pay for a product whereby other costs such taxes, shipping costs, handling costs etc which are involved in the delivery of the goods to the buyer aren't added. It is the price that is included in a price list, or catalog which the manufacturer or the vendor regularly maintains.

In a situation whereby the customer is in the process of developing an independent government estimate for a requirement that is commercially available, then the catalog price will be used in such case.

trade regulation is a field of law, often bracketed with antitrust (as in the phrase “antitrust and trade regulation law”), including government regulation of unfair methods of competition and unfair or deceptive business acts or practices. antitrust law is often considered a subset of trade regulation law. franchise and distribution law, consumer protection law, and advertising law are sometimes considered parts of trade regulation law.

in general the theory of economics says that the more open to trade a country is the better   the result for the same country and the whole economies.

in real life countries impose taxes, quotas, etc which is not so good for the economies.

this kind of commercial war between the usa and china is slowing down the growth of the whole world so we can say that it is a draw back of trade regulations. and the free trade agreements are benefits of trade regulations.
