Headline data

Target name Implement the principle of special and differential treatment for developing countries, in particular least developed countries, in accordance with World Trade Organization agreements
Indicator name Proportion of tariff lines applied to imports from least developed countries and developing countries with zero-tariff
Global / Proxy indicator Global indicator
Description of indicator The calculation of this indicator will allow observing on how many products Developing countries and Least Developed Countries (LDCs) will have free access to Developed countries markets. When compared to the tariff rates applied to other countries, this indicator will allow assessing to which extent special and differential treatment has been accorded in terms of import tariffs. The evolution of this indicator will indicate progress on the phasing out of tariff rates on goods coming from Developing countries and LDCs.

This indicator is provided as two sub-indicators:
1.The ratio of the number of products with 0% tariffs, additional tariffs and additional financial obligation to the total number of products in imports from the least developed countries (LDC) to which unilateral preferential regime is applied in the General Trade System regime
2. The ratio of the number of products with 0% tariffs, additional tariffs and additional financial obligation to the total number of products in imports from the developing countries to which unilateral preferential regime is applied in the General Trade System regime

Calculation The Import Regime Decision (Decision) consists of approximately 16 thousand lines and includes the customs duties that different countries and country groups are subject to for each line. In this context, the 10.a.1 indicator is the ratio of the number of lines applied as 0% of GV and IGV to the total number of lines for the countries in the LDC and DPP class included in the Decision.
Comparability Comparable over time. Produced in full compliance with global metadata.
