Market access
General note and abbreviations
The statistics related to applied tariffs and imports are calculated using data which are based on the HS nomenclature adopted by the country for the reference year. For statistics on bound tariffs, the calculations are based on the approved schedule of concessions of the WTO member. In previous issues of World Tariff Profiles, each schedule is based on the HS version which the member used when it acceded to the WTO. Starting with the 2010 issue of this publication, bound tariff statistics are based on the approved schedule of concessions for each member in the most recent HS version. This might have some implications on the historical series of various bound tariff indicators affected by the use of a different nomenclature. While the member’s commitments have not changed as a result of the transposition, some aggregate statistics might have been affected as a consequence of the change to another HS version.
Introduction
The World Tariff Profiles is a joint publication of the WTO, ITC and UNCTAD devoted to market access for goods. This statistical yearbook contains a comprehensive compilation of the main tariff parameters for each of the 159 WTO members plus other countries and customs territories where data is available. Each country profile presents information on tariffs imposed by each economy on its imports complemented with an analysis of the market access conditions it faces in its major export markets.
Notas técnicas
Sólo se tienen en cuenta los derechos y las importaciones correspondientes a los capítulos 01 a 97 del SA. Cada lista de aranceles aplicados se valida con respecto a la nomenclatura uniforme del SA a nivel de subpartidas de 6 dígitos utilizadas por el país para el año de referencia. Se descartan y omiten las líneas arancelarias nacionales que no se ajustan a esta norma (a saber, los seis primeros dígitos deben basarse en la nomenclatura uniforme de la versión del SA, a nivel de subpartidas, utilizada por el país). Por otra parte, se añaden las subpartidas que faltan. Por lo tanto, todos los cálculos se basan en la nomenclatura uniforme completa. Todos los promedios simples se basan en promedios agregados previamente a nivel de 6 dígitos del SA. Por agregación previa se entiende la obtención preliminar de promedios, a nivel de subpartidas de 6 dígitos del SA, de los derechos aplicables a las líneas arancelarias. Los cálculos posteriores se basan en esos promedios preagregados.
