This table provides metadata for the actual indicator available from Turkey statistics closest to the corresponding global SDG indicator. Please note that even when the global SDG indicator is fully available from Turkey statistics, this table should be consulted for information on national methodology and other Turkey-specific metadata information.
| Target name | Realize timely implementation of duty-free and quota-free market access on a lasting basis for all least developed countries, consistent with World Trade Organization decisions, including by ensuring that preferential rules of origin applicable to imports from least developed countries are transparent and simple, and contribute to facilitating market access |
|---|---|
| Indicator name | Tariff rates faced by developing countries, least developed countries and small island developing states |
| Global / Proxy indicator | Global indicator |
| Description of indicator |
Three indicators are provided under this SDG indicator: 1. Arithmetic average tariffs (tariffs, additional tariffs and additional financial obligation) in imports from Most-Favoured Nations (MFNs) 2. Arithmetic average tariffs (tariffs, additional tariffs and additional financial obligation) in imports from the least developed countries (LDC) to which unilateral preferential regime is applied in the General Trade System regime 3. Arithmetic average tariffs (tariffs, additional tariffs and additional financial obligation) in imports from the developing countries to which unilateral preferential regime is applied in the General Trade System regime |

| Calculation | The tariff rates- including the additional customs duty (ACD) and additional financial liabilities (AFL) rates in the Import Regime Decision- faced by the most favored countries (MFN), least developed countries (LDCs) and developing countries (EMYs) are taken into account in the calculation, added up and divided by the total number of rows for each country group. In other words, these ratios were calculated as simple averages. |
| Comparability | Comparable over time. Produced in full compliance with global metadata. |

| Other information |
Since tax exemptions within the scope of exceptional applications such as Inward Processing Regime, end-use, civil aviation and investment incentives has not be taken into account in these calculations, the tax rates calculated do not reflect the actual situation exactly, and do show the theoretical protection rates of import policies.
In the calculation made, the ratios (including GV, EMY and IGV ratios) in the Decision were summed up on the basis of the ratios faced by MFN (DU), LDCs and DCUs, as indicated in the table, and divided by the total number of rows for each country group. In other words, these ratios were calculated as simple averages. |
