Simple average Duty-free Non ad valorem duties Duties > 15 % Year of Binding MFN coverage MFN MFN MFN MFN Bound Bound Bound Bound applied applied applied applied applied tariff in % Share of HS 6 digit subheadings in % 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 Summary Table Statistics • Calendar year or start of fiscal year • Share of Harmonized System (HS) six-digit subheadings containing • at least one bound tariff line. • Simple average of the ad valorem or ad valorem equivalent (AVE) • HS six-digit duty averages. • Share of duty-free HS six-digit subheadings in the total number • of subheadings in the product group. • Share of HS six-digit subheadings subject to non-ad valorem duties. • Share of HS six-digit subheadings subject to ad valorem duties or • AVEs greater than 15%.

  6. Number of distinct duty Concessions Duties > 3 * AVG Maximum duty Coefficient of variation Number of rates not yet MFN implemented MFN MFN MFN Bound Bound MFN applied Bound Bound applied in 2006 applied applied applied tariff lines Share of HS 6 digit subhdgs in % 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 Summary Table Statistics • Share of HS six-digit subheadings subject to ad valorem duties or AVEs greater • than three times the national average. • Share of HS six-digit bound subheadings not yet implemented in 2006. • Maximum tariff line level, ad valorem duty or AVE. • Number of distinct duty rates. Non-ad valorem duties are always treated as distinct • because AVE calculations would always yield distinct AVEs. • Standard deviation of tariff line duty rates divided by the simple tariff line level average • of all duty rates. Includes only ad valorem duties or AVEs. • Total number of Most-favored nation (MFN) applied tariff lines.

  7. Part A1. Tariffs and imports: summary and duty ranges • Simple average of final bound duties excluding unbound tariff lines • Simple average of MFN applied duties • HS six-digit MFN tariff averages weighted with HS six-digit import flows

  10. Part B. Export to major trading partners and duties faced For top six major export destinations: • Diversification • HS two-digit - number of HS chapters with trade flows after exclusion of • 5 % of smallest bilateral tariff line trade flows. • HS six-digit - number of HS subheadings with trade flows after exclusion • of 5 % of smallest bilateral tariff line trade flows. • Simple and weighted MFN averages based on tariff lines with imports. • Preferential margin • Trade-weighted average difference between the MFN duty and the most • advantageous preferential duty. Tariff lines where either MFN or preferential duties cannot be expressed in ad valorem terms have been excluded.

  11. Technical annexes • Technical Papers • Tariff aggregation methods – what are the implications • Methodology for the estimation of non-ad valorem tariffs • Data Sources • Glossary of tariff and trade-related terms
