Note by the Secretariat1
Revision
This document contains a revised and up-dated list of tariffs and their latest modifications
available in the Secretariat as of 13 March 2003.  The information, as noted here, is drawn mainly from
three sources:  national editions of the customs ta riffs, the publications of the International Customs
Bureau in Brussels and the Bundesstelle für Ausse nhandelsinformation-BFAI (Germany).  Additionally,
in some cases Members having submitted tariff in formation to the Trade Policy Review Mechanism,
Statistics or Accessions Divisions have requested that  this information be made available in the Tariff
Library.
