Committee on Market Access
SITUATION OF SCHEDULES OF WTO MEMBERS
Revision
At the Market Access Committee meeting of June 1999, it was agreed that Annex II of
document G/MA/63 setting out the situation of  schedules of WTO Members would be updated
periodically.  In this connection, please find attached an update of the status of Members' schedulesincorporating information up to and including 31 May 2001.   The introductory text contained in
Annex II of the original document G/MA/63 has been  retained except for a few changes in dates or
document reference numbers.
____________________
The attached table reflecting the situation of schedules of WTO Members was prepared for
information purposes.  It is intended to assist 1) the project team in the Secretariat in its preparation of
the draft files of consolidated tariff concessions for developing country Members, and 2) developed
country Members which are expected to prepare submissions for the Tariff Schedules Database.Additionally, the Secretariat has indicated the next stage of work which remains to be done with
respect to a Member's schedule.  This work derives from obligations in connection with the
introduction of the Harmonized System or its changes, for example and is independent from the work
carried out by the Secretariat under the Consolidated Tariff Schedules Database Project.  In order to
facilitate the reading of the table, some background information has been provided.
Background Information
All WTO Members have a WTO schedule of tariff concessions which is either annexed to the
Marrakesh Protocol to the GATT 1994 or to a Protocol of Accession.  Some Members have also
schedules pre-dating the Uruguay Round which reflect concessions granted previously.  Following the
entry into force of the Harmonized System1 (HS) on 1 January 1988 (HS88), the pre-UR schedules of
those GATT contracting parties which are also contracting parties to the HS Convention were
required to be transposed into the HS2. The GATT Committee on Tariff Concessions developed
procedures for this purpose (BISD 30S/17).  A certain number of schedules have been transposed,
certified and annexed to Protocols.  Some Members undertook to renegotiate their schedules in
connection with the implementation of the HS and have either completed the process or are underwaiver.  The situation regarding pre-UR schedules is set out in column 4 of the table.  The term
"None" is used for those Members that have no GATT schedule of concessions. However, these
Members did submit a schedule either during the Uruguay Round or at the time of their accession
                                                     
1The Harmonized System (HS) nomenclature, which was developed in the World Customs
Organization (formerly the Customs Cooperation Council) entered into force on 1 January 1988 through a
Convention.   As of 25 February  2000, the HS Convention had 85 contracting parties (EC counted as one) andan additional 78 countries applying the HS without being contracting parties to the HS Convention.
2 Article 3 of the HS Convention obliges HS contracting parties to ensure that their customs tariff and
statistical nomenclatures are in conformity with the Harmonized System. It is to be noted that  those contracting
parties which were not contracting parties to the HS, but nevertheless apply the HS in their national customs
tariff also undertook this exercise in order to keep the authentic texts of their schedules up to date and in
conformity with their national customs tariff.G/MA/W/23/Rev.1
Page 2
following the Uruguay Round.  Column 5 indicates whether the schedules of WTO Members are
annexed to the Marrakesh Protocol or to a Protocol of Accession.
Periodically, the HS Committee of the Worl d Customs Organization (WCO) undertakes a
review of the HS to take account of changes in technology and patterns in international trade and
recommends certain amendments to the HS.  The first set of such changes came into force on
1 January 1992 (HS92) and the second, more substantial set on 1 January 1996 (HS96).  The
Committee on Tariff Concessions established simplified procedures to implement these changes and
any future changes in the HS relating to GATT concessions (BISD 39S/300).  Eleven GATT
contracting parties followed these procedures to introduce the HS92 changes and submitted
documentation.  For the purpose of implementing HS96 changes on 1 January 1996 and subsequently
to undertake Article XXVIII consultations and negotiations, thirty-three Members initially requested awaiver.  The waivers were granted in December 1995 (WT/L/124) and have been extended since then
for further periods of time.  Since the waivers were granted initially, a few Members have requested to
be added to the list of countries under waiver, while a few other Members have not requested an
extension.  The latest waiver decision (WT/L/400) grants an extension of the waivers until
30 April 2002.  The decision requires Members under waiver to either submit relevant documentationor if special circumstances apply, to request techni cal assistance from the Secretariat for the completion
of such documentation.  Column 6 of the table reflects the situation with respect to HS96 changes.
HS92 changes have been indicated in column 3 as these changes relate to pre-UR schedules.
Following the Uruguay Round, a number of WTO Members submitted rectifications and
modifications to UR schedules.  The procedures for such rectifications/modifications were adopted by
the GATT CONTRACTING PARTIES on 26 March 1980 (BISD 27S/25). The
rectifications/modifications which have been notified include concessions made in the context of the
Ministerial Declaration on Trade in Information Technology Products (ITA), the Pharmaceutical
Understanding (pharma), or reflect the results of bilateral negotiations (distilled spirits).  Othernotifications include autonomous improvements in concessions, changes pursuant to provisions of
WTO Agreements, information on other duties and charges (ODCs) and changes of a technical nature.
Column 7 reflects the situation on rectifications and modification of schedules.
Rectifications/modifications pertaining to the ITA, the Pharmaceutical Understanding, or the results
of bilateral negotiations on distilled spirits and ODCs have been specified; all others have been
referred to as "other".  Some of these changes have been certified, while others remain pending (due
to reservations, domestic approval procedures etc.).
As may be noted from the table, Members are at very different stages with respect to their
schedules. Some Members, who are applying the HS, have pre-UR schedules which are in a
nomenclature other than the HS. In these cases and in order to ensure consistency between the
customs tariff and schedule of concessions, the Member needs to transpose its schedule into the HSusing the procedures in BISD 30S/17.  Others have pre-UR schedules which have already been
transposed into the HS, but only into the 1988 or 1992 versions, and the HS96 changes would need to
be introduced using the procedures set out in BISD 39S/300.  The final objective is  for all Members
to have a consolidated schedule pursuant to the decision on the "Establishment of Consolidated
Loose-Leaf Schedules on Goods" (G/L/138), which has already been referred to in paragraph 1 of thisdocument.  These consolidated schedules in loose-leaf format should, ideally, be the basis when
further amendments to the HS will be introduced in the year 2002.  Column 8 of the table gives an
indication of the immediate work that needs to be completed in relation to Members' schedules.  In
this connection, it is worth noting that in the past  some Members, in doing this work, have combined
various steps of the process. For example, some Members chose to transpose their pre-UR scheduleinto the HS and introduce HS96 changes to this schedule as well as their UR schedule all in one step.
Another example is with respect to the introduction of HS96 changes to schedules of concessions. Of
course, while not stated explicitly in each case under column 8, the final objective, as noted before, is
to submit consolidated schedules of concessions pursuant to the decision in G/L/138.G/MA/W/23/Rev.1
