Net importers: Countries whose imports are more than their exports.

Non Agricultural Market Access: Negotiations on industrial tariffs including textiles and forestry.

Non-linear method of tariff reduction: Calls for steep reductions for high tariffs and lower reductions for low tariffs.

Non-Tariff Barriers (NTBs): Measures that have trade-restrictive effects on trade in goods or services, but do not involve tariffs. They include technical barriers to trade and quantitative restrictions. Can also include standards intended to promote health and protect the environment.
