Overview: This paper analyses the role of firm size as a determinant of customs-related transaction costs, as well as the effect of firm size on the relationship between these costs and the international trade intensity of firms. It submits that economies of scale should be related to the size of the activities the firm is specialized in, and not directly linked to the size of a firm per se. The results of this study indicate that customs-related transaction costs repress international trade activities of firms, even at low levels of these costs.
