Metadonnées

Average tariff of a market country for an origin group is calculated by taking those products (at HS 6-digit level) that are imported by the market country from each country included in the origin group. i.e., tariff rates for those products that are not traded are not included in the calculation.

Product categories are defined in terms of SITC Revision 3 and all corresponding Harmonized System (HS) 6-digit codes have been aggregated for each category. 

Full metadata are available in our Data Centre for Import tariff rates on non-agricultural and non-fuel products, annual.
