Cuadro I:Veintitrés principales mercados deimportación paralospaíses menos adelantados
Los23mercados seleccionados sonlosprincipales importadores demercancías procedentes
delospaíses menos adelantados, según elpromedio calculado durante losaños1993 a1996. Estos
mercados representaron aproximadamente el95porciento delasexportaciones delospaíses menos
adelantados en1995. Losproductos cuyo valor ascendió aunacantidad igual osuperior a
100.000 dólares en1995/1996 seenumeran enorden descendente devalor; sehaexcluido ungran
número deproductos acadaunodeloscuales corresponde unvalor anual deimportaciones bajo. Nose
incluyen lospaíses cuyos datos sobre elcomercio nosiguen laclasificación deproductos delSA(por
ejemplo, Rusia). Sehanexcluido también determinados capítulos delSA(porejemplo elcapítulo 99
sobre productos diversos).

Métodos ydefiniciones
Flujos comerciales
Elvalor delosflujos comerciales demercancías seobtuvo delaBasedeDatos delaDivisión
deEstadística delasNaciones Unidas (COMTRADE) yseproporciona paracadaproducto alnivel
de6dígitos delaclasificación deproductos delSA. Desde 1992 a1997, hayunproblema de
concordancia enlaclasificación arancelaria ycomercial delSAde1992 alSAde1996 enelcasode
algunos países. Éstos seseñalan enloscuadros sobre productos. Enloquerespecta alasComunidades
Europeas, sefacilita elvalor delasimportaciones procedentes delospaíses menos adelantados con
lacooperación deEurostat yestosdatos representan elcomercio extracomunitario auntipodecambio
para1995 de1,308 ecuspordólar. Enloquerespecta alaIndia yalJapón, losdatos serefieren a
losañosfiscales (esdecir, 1995/1996 paralosdatos de"1995"). Lacuota demercado secalcula como
laproporción delasimportaciones deunpaísprocedentes depaíses menos adelantados enlas
importaciones totales deesepaíseneseañoconcreto.
Tipos arancelarios aplicados
LaBase Integrada deDatos delaOMC fuelafuente principal paralostipos arancelarios
aplicados. Seutilizaron losdatos delaUNCTAD cuando éstoseranmásrecientes quelosdelaOMC,
asícomo paraChina yelTaipei Chino quenosonmiembros delaOMC. Enlamayoría delospaíses,
lostiposarancelarios aplicados sonlosquefiguran ensusaranceles deaduanas de1997, conlaexcepción
deAustralia yelBrasil (quesonunamezcla delosde1996 y1997), yChile, Indonesia, Polonia y
Singapur (quesonloscorrespondientes a1996).
Puesto quealgunos países aplican aranceles diferentes enlaclasificación deproductos
de6dígitos, enalgunos casos hayunagama dearanceles (porejemplo, 2a10). Sehahecho un
promedio deestadiferencia paracalcular losaranceles medios. Cuando lospaíses aplican tipos de
aranceles concretos, sehautilizado laanotación "sp", anoserqueelpaísencuestión hayapedido
quesepresente suinformación deforma diferente.

delosresultados delasnegociaciones delaRonda Uruguay.
