Schedules of market access
commitments on goods by WTO Members
-
There is no legally binding agreement that sets out the targets for
tariff reductions. Instead, individual members of the WTO have
listed their commitments to cut and bind tariffs on
goods schedules
that are part of the Uruguay Round Agreements. Additional
commitments were made under the 1997
Information Technology Agreement.
Get Tariff Data back to top
Data on WTO members' tariffs are of
two types:
-
Bound rates (the ceiling rates as
listed in members’ “schedules” or lists of commitments)
-
Applied rates (the rates members
currently charge, which can be lower than the bound rates).
WTO tariff databases contain both bound and
applied rates. Options for accessing and searching the databases can be
found here.
