La OMC publica una nueva edición de Perfiles arancelarios en el mundo
La OMC ha publicado hoy (2 de julio) la última edición de Perfiles arancelarios en el mundo, una publicación anual producida conjuntamente con el Centro de Comercio Internacional y la Conferencia de las Naciones Unidas sobre Comercio y Desarrollo. La nueva edición ofrece información completa sobre los aranceles y las medidas no arancelarias impuestas por más de 170 países y territorios aduaneros, con un apartado especial dedicado al comercio y los objetivos de desarrollo sostenible.
Tariff data are presented in comparative tables and in one-page profiles for each economy. Statistics on non-tariff measures by country and by product group complement the data on tariffs. A new table containing import and export profiles indicates the value of imports and exports for each country and customs territory and the average tariffs applied to these products.
The special topic of this year’s World Tariff Profiles is «Aligning trade and tariff policies with sustainable development». The chapter provides statistics on tariffs applied to technological goods that may assist countries in fulfilling certain Sustainable Development Goals, such as SDG 3.9 («By 2030, substantially reduce the number of deaths and illnesses from hazardous chemicals and air, water and soil pollution and contamination») and SDG 7.2 («By 2030, increase substantially the share of renewable energy in the global energy mix»).
The publication can be downloaded from the WTO website. Printed copies will be available in the coming weeks. French and Spanish editions will be available for download by the end of July.
The new data are also available in the WTODATA portal.
