CUSTOMS UNION: An agreement among two or more nations to eliminate trade restrictions with each other and to adopt a common trade policy with other nations. There is, however, no effort to allow free movement of resources among the countries nor to adopt common monetary or fiscal policies. This is considered the second of four levels of integration among nations. See common market, economic union, free-trade area for the other three levels.

The two segments are: (1) a relatively more elastic segment for price increases and (2) a relatively less elastic segment for price decreases. The relative elasticities of these two segments is based on the interdependent decision-making of oligopolistic firms.
