Trade status granting best treatment offered to any country.
Real World
When China joined the WTO in 2001, the US granted it MFN status, meaning Chinese goods faced the same low tariffs as goods from any other WTO member.
Exam Focus
When evaluating MFN, link it to trade creation and non-discrimination; avoid confusing it with preferential trade agreements.
