Most-Favoured-Nation Treatment
Most-favoured-nation (MFN) treament implies the principle of non-discrimination as between WTO Members. A benefit related to trade in goods given to the most-favoured nation ( whether Members or not ) has to be extended to all Members. Thus if two Members exchange benefits between them, they cannot limit these to themselves; they have to extend the application of these benefits to all the Members.
The benefit mentioned above means advantage, favour, privilege or immunity .For example, an advantage may be in the form of reduced tariff, a favour may be by way of permission to export a scarce commodity, a privilege may be in the form of tax remission and immunity may be given by exemption from a health hazard test .
The principle applies both to import and export. Further, MFN treatment has to be extended to all members unconditionally. Thus a country cannot prescribe that it will allow a particular privilege to another country only if the latter follows certain specific practices.
最惠国待遇
最惠国待遇体现了WTO 成员国之间的无歧视待遇原则.在货物贸易方面给最惠国(不管其是否为WTO成员国)的优惠待遇同样要给予所有WTO成员. 这样,如果两个成员国之间达成互惠互利,他们应该把这种互惠互利让所有成员国都享受到.
上面提到的互惠互利指的是好处、偏袒、特权或豁免权。比如说，好处可以是关税减让的形式，偏袒可以是允许出口一种稀有商品，特权可以是免税，豁免权可以是免除接受健康检测。
这个原则既适用于进口也适用于出口。另外，最惠国待遇应无条件地寄予所有成员国。所以，一国不能规定只有另一个国家实行某种做法它才寄予该国某种特权。
