GENERALIZED SYSTEM OF PREFERENCES
Notification by Japan
Addendum
The Permanent Mission of Japan has in a communication dated, 17 April 2003, transmitted
the following information on Japan's Generalized System of Preference.
_______________
JAPAN'S REVISION TO ITS GSP SCHEME
As of 1 April 2003
A. PRODUCT COVERAGE
1. Background
1. On 13 December 2002, the Council on Customs, Tariff, Foreign Exchange and other
Transactions, an advisory body to the Minister for Finance, submitted a recommendation on the
revision of customs duties for the Fiscal Year 2003 to the Minister for Finance, which includes
measures to substantially expand the coverage under the Generalized System of Preference (GSP),
especially duty-free and quota-free treatment for Least-Developed Countries (LDCs)' products.
2. With a view to further contributing to the de velopment of developing countries, especially
LDCs, through trade, Japan has expressed its intention to examine the expansion of coverage under
duty-free and quota-free treatment for LDCs' products for Fiscal Year 2003 on several occasions, such
as the Johannesburg Summit (WSSD) in August 2002.  The measures proposed reflect Japan’s
commitment and are to be implemented as of April 2003, after necessary domestic procedures.
3. According to the recommendation, the number of  LDCs' agricultural and fishery products
under duty-free and quota-free treatment are to be increased to around 500 items from around
300 existing items; the additional 200 items include prawns and frozen fish fillets.  As for LDCs'
industrial products, almost all items have already been given duty-free and quota-free treatment.  This
expansion is to bring the percentage of products under this treatment in the total import value from
LDCs, including the industrial products, from around 80 per cent to over 90 per cent.
4. In addition, the number of products under the GSP, which benefits not only LDCs but also
other developing countries, are to be increased; around 120 new items, almost all of which are
agricultural products, such as dried prunes, coconut (copra) oil, avocados and papayas, are to be
added.  Furthermore, the tariff rates of around 60 existing items under the GSP are to be reduced.WT/COMTD/N/2/Add.12
Page 2
5. The recommendation explained above has undergone the necessary domestic procedures and
is applicable as of 1 April 2003.
2. Details for LDCs
6. One hundred and ninety-eight (198) agricultural  and fishery products (see Annexes I and II)
are to be added to the current 298 items that are eligible for the duty-free and quota-free treatment ofLDCs' products.  This measure makes the duty-free and quota-free items account for more than
90 per cent of the total import value from LDCs.
Additional items to duty-free and quota-free treatment
for LDCs products:198
 Vegetable products:
  e.g. dried fruits: apricots, prunes, frozen fruits:
berries, truffles, and chicory, etc.88
 Prepared foods:
  e.g. canned olives, prepared nuts etc.54
 Fats and oils:
  e.g. coconut oil, palm kernel oil etc.9
 Animal products:
  e.g. meats of ducks and turkeys, etc.22
 Fishery products:
  e.g. prawns, lobsters, frozen fish fillets, etc.25
3. Details for beneficiaries other than LDCs
7. One hundred and eighteen (118) new agricultural products (see Annexes II and III) are to be
added to the current 221 agricultural items that are eligible for the GSP.  One industrial product (see
Annex III) is to be added as well.  Furthermore, the tariff rates of 36 agricultural products under the
GSP (see Annex IV) are to be reduced.  Also, the tariff rates of 28 industrial products under the GSP
are to be reduced and three ceilings for industrial product groups are to be eliminated (see Annex IV).
Additional agricultural items to the GSP: 118
 Vegetable products:
  e.g. tropical fruits: avocados, papaws, truffles, and
chicory, etc.56
 Prepared foods:
  e.g. canned olives, prepared nuts etc.37
 Fats and oils:
  e.g. coconut oil, palm kernel oil etc.6
 Animal products:
  e.g. meats of ducks and turkeys, etc.19
B. B ENEFICIARIES
8. Slovenia is to be removed from the list of beneficiaries, taking into account the objectives of
the GSP as well as the fact that its economy has been considered to have developed to a levelcomparable to those of developed countries.WT/COMTD/N/2/Add.12
Page 3
C. C EILING QUOTAS FOR INDUSTRIAL PRODUCTS
9. The ceiling quotas for industrial products for Fiscal Year 2003 are listed in Annex V.
D. O THERS
1. Criteria for product-by-country exclusion from preferential tariff treatment
10. Regarding products that are considered to ha ve a high international competitiveness in
Japanese markets, the following new set of criteria is to be established, taking into account, among
other things, the objectives of the GSP, needs to expand preferential benefits to beneficiaries that are
relatively less competitive, and implications on the domestic industries:
A particular product of a beneficiary (excluding LDC) is to be excluded from the scheme if
the imports of the product from the beneficiary exceed for two consecutive years (i) 1
billion yen, and (ii) 50 per cent of the total imports of the product into Japan.
11. Even if these criteria are met regarding a particular product and a beneficiary, the exclusion of
such a product would not be automatic.  The exclusion will not take place if it is considered
unnecessary, taking into account the situation surrounding domestic industries concerned.1
2. Criteria for emergency suspension  of preferential tariff treatment
12. To improve the transparency of the existing emergency suspension provisions of the scheme,
a set of guidelines has been established and made known to the public.
                                                     
1 By applying these criteria, three products from China are to be excluded from the scheme from
1 July 2003.WT/COMTD/N/2/Add.12
