La OMC publica una nueva edición de Perfiles arancelarios en el mundo
La OMC publicó hoy (6 de julio) la edición de 2023 de “Perfiles arancelarios en el mundo”, una publicación anual en la que se recoge información detallada sobre los aranceles que imponen más de 170 países y territorios aduaneros a las importaciones. El informe, elaborado conjuntamente con el Centro de Comercio Internacional y la Conferencia de las Naciones Unidas sobre Comercio y Desarrollo (UNCTAD), también contiene datos sobre las medidas no arancelarias, como las medidas antidumping, los derechos compensatorios y las medidas de salvaguardia.
(de momento sólo en inglés)
One-page profiles provide an overview of each economy’s tariffs broken down by product group. The profiles also show the tariffs imposed by its main trading partners.
Summary tables provide comparisons of the average “bound” or maximum tariff each economy may apply to imports and the average tariffs it applies in practice. Data is provided for agricultural and non-agricultural products as well as for “all products”. Import and export profiles provide comparisons on the value of imports for each economy, the level of export diversification, and relevant tariff data.
The publication also contains two special topics. The first analyzes the evolution of market access over 16 years of “World Tariff Profiles”, highlighting trends for applied and bound tariffs across product groups, regions and level of development. It reveals a modest improvement in trade opening, with the average tariff for all products declining from 10.1 per cent in 2006 to 8.9 per cent in 2021.
The second topic looks into the product classification system used by the WTO for trade statistics and policy analysis. It underlines that the 2023 version of the WTO’s Multilateral Trade Negotiations (MTN) Categories, containing a new two-tier structure for 22 MTN categories with a total of 72 MTN sub-categories, will facilitate more precise analysis of trade patterns.
The publication is available here.
French and Spanish editions will be available for download by the end of July. Printed copies will be available in August.
The new data are also available in the WTODATA portal.
