QUANTITATIVE RESTRIC TIONS:  
FACTUAL INFORMATION ON NOTIFICATIONS REC EIVED   
REPORT  BY THE SECRETARIAT1 
Revision  
1  INTRODUCTION  
1.1.  This report  has been prepared at request of the Chairperson of the Committee on Market Access 
with a view to providing factual information on the notifications received pursuant to  "Decision on 
Notification Procedures for Quantitative Restrictions" (hereinafter "the QR Decision ").2 It 
complements information already provided by the Secretariat in the practical guide on notifications 
of QRs (JOB/MA/101 /Rev.2 ) and the background note on the previous Decision on notification 
procedures for QRs (JOB/MA/6).  
1.2.  Section 2 provides factual information on the contents of the QR notifications that have been 
received as of 10 May 2019, including: i)  an overview of the QRs in  force by notifying Member; 
ii) the trade flows (i.e. imports or exports) affected a nd types of measures used;  iii) the types of 
products affected ; and iv) the legal justification mentioned by Members.  
2  FACTUAL INFORMATION O N QR NOTIFICATIONS  
2.1.  The QR Decision provides that the notification of quantitative restrictions3 in force shall be 
based on a specific format  contained in its Annex 1 . This Annex requires Member s to provide the 
following information for each QR : i) a gen eral description of the QR; ii)  the type of restriction (based 
on the symbols in Annex 2); iii)  the tariff line codes of the products covered, in cluding the HS version 
used; iv)  the detailed product description for the c orresponding tariff line(s); v)  the legal justification 
for maintaini ng the measure; vi)  the national legal basis for the QR, including its entry into force 
and the date it ceased to be in force, if know n; and vii)  Member 's comments, administration of the 
restriction or modification of a previously notified measure.4 
2.1  Notification of QRs   
2.2.  As of 10 May 2019, 39 Members  have submitted notifications of all QRs in force for some or all 
the biennial periods 2012 -2014, 2014-2016, 2016-2018, and/or 2018-2020, which represents  an 
increase of 7 Members since the last report . Of the 39 notifying Members, 14 have submitted 
notifications for the four biennial  periods ; five have notified  three  biennial periods ; five have notified 
two biennial periods;  and 15 Members have submitted information for one biennial period  only. Thus 
far, 19 Members have notified information for the 2018-2020 biennial period. The QR Decision also 
allows Members to notify changes to their measures . To date,  only five Members have done so .  No 
"reverse" notification has been received to date .5  The complete list of notifications  submitted by 
                                                
1 This document has been prepared under the Secretariat's own responsibility and is without prejudice 
to the positions of Members or to their rights and obligations under the WTO.  
2 Decision of Council for Trade in Goods of  3 July 2012 , G/L/59/ Rev.1.  
3 The term "quantitative restriction" is not clearly defined. Several legal provisions under the WTO 
Agreement deal with such measures, including  Article XI:1 of the GATT 1994 (general elimination  of 
quantitative restrictions). For an overview of the WTO provisions addressing QRs see document JOB/MA/6.  
4 Paragraph 2 of the QR Decision.  
5 Paragraph 5 of the QR Decision states that Members shall  be free to make reverse notifications of 
measures maintained by other Members. They shall use the format in Annex 1 and complete all the information G/MA/W/114/Rev.2

  Members  is provi ded in the Annex  to this report . Given the low number of noti fications received, it 
should be noted that the summary information provided in this section is not necessarily 
representative of the universe of QRs being implemented by all 164 WTO Members.   
2.3.  The 3 9 notifying Members maintain a total of 1118 QRs that account for  1367 measures.  For 
the purpose of this report , the term "QR" and "measure" are used to identify two different concepts 
as each notified QR may be enforced through more than one measure. For example, one QR could 
involve a conditional prohibiti on that is administered through  a non -automatic licence procedure . 
For purposes of this report, this QR will be counted as two different measures .  
2.4.  To avoid duplication in the analysis, t he calculations are based on the information contained in 
the latest notification submitted  by each of those 39 Members .  In other words,  if a Member made 
a first notification for the biennial period 2012 -2014, and subsequently notified the same measures 
for the other biennial periods , only the latest one has been taken into account6.  Since other variables 
may also have "one -to-many" relationships , the total number of measures/QRs varies for each of 
the Charts shown below .   
2.2  Type of restriction used and affected trade flows  
2.5.  The QR Decision provides that Members shall notify all QRs in force, irrespective of whether 
they affect imports or exports.  In addition, p aragraph 2(ii) requires Members to provide a "precise 
indication of the type of restriction imposed using the symbols contained in Annex 2". Where  the 
restriction cannot be classified under one of th ose symbols, then a full description of the measure 
shall be provided by the Member in the notification.7 
2.6.  Chart 1 shows that  the majority of the 1367 measures notified by Members consist of import 
measures ( 68.4% of the total), which is more than two times the number imposed on exports 
(31.6%).  In terms of the specific types of measures that have been notified, most of them are:  
• Non-automatic licensing procedures  (NAL) , of which 217 measures apply  to exports and 
414 to imports;  
• Prohibitions (e.g. bans of certain products)  (P), of which 118 concern exports and 
367 concern imports; and  
• Prohibitions except under defined conditions (i.e. conditional prohibitions)  (CP), of which 
87 apply to exports and 131 apply to imports.  
• Quantitative restriction made effective through state -trading operations (STR), of which 4 
apply to exports and 2 to imports.  
• Quotas8, either global (GQ),  allocated by country  (GQC) or bilateral quotas (BQ) , represent 
a small percentage of the total nu mber of notified mea sures.   
 
  
                                                
required. These notifications will be included in the agenda of the Committee on Market Access and the 
Member subject to reverse notification will have two months to comment in writing. In the absence of such a 
comment within the two months, the Secretariat shall include the reverse information in the database.  
6 See Annex 1 for a complete list of all notifica tions submitted by Members.  
7 Footnote 5 of the QR Decision specifies that such list is "not intended to define or harmonize the 
concept of quantitative restrictions under the WTO".  
8 A quota is a restriction (i.e. an absolute volume) on the amount of a go od that may be imported by, or 
exported from, a country. It should not be confused with a "tariff quota" or "tariff rate quota" (TRQ), which 
consist in the application of a reduced tariff rate (i.e. in -quota duty) for a specified quantity of imported goods ; 
imports above this specified quantity face a higher tariff rate (i.e. out -of-quota duty). TRQs are commonly used 
for agricultural products. Footnote 1 of the QR Decision explicitly excludes TRQs from its scope.  G/MA/W/114/Rev.2

G/L/59/Rev.1 . 
 
2.3  Types of products affected  
2.7.  Paragraphs (iii) and (iv) of the  QR Decision require Members to provide specific information on 
the tariff line code of the products  affected by the QR, namely: i)  a detailed description of the  tariff 
line(s) or parts of the tariff line(s) affected, together with an indication of the Harmonised System 
(HS) version on whi ch the codes are based; and ii)  a detailed description of the product(s) covered 
by the QR. It is further specifie d that "Membe rs shall make an effort to be precise in those cases 
where the restriction only covers part of an HS sub -heading, i.e. only part of a six -digit code".  
2.8.  Overall, t he 1118 QRs  used in the calculations  relate to a total of 2666 HS chapters in the 
dataset, while in 167 cases the Member did not provide specific information on the relevant HS 
codes. These case s make up a pproximately 6% of the notified QRs  and often use the term "various"  
sometimes followed by examples of tariff lines covered (i.e. it is not an  exhaustive list). In terms of 
the HS version used, the majority of notifications (2 2 out of 3 9) include codes in HS2012, four 
notifications in HS2007, and 13 in HS20 17. 
2.9.  Chart 2 shows the  ten HS Chapters  most frequently referred to in the QR notifications . The 
calculation was b ased on the tariff codes provided in the notification s, including cases with partial 
information.  Chapter 29 (Organic chemicals)  is the chapter  with the highest number of notified QR  
measures , followed by Chapter 38 (M iscellaneous che mical products) and Chapter 28 (Inorganic 
chemicals ).

2.10.   Chart  3 disaggregates the information by trade flow and suggests  that the product categories 
affected by QRs on exports slightly differ with  respect to those affecting imports.  For example, while 
Chapter 84 is the third most affected by QRs on imports, exports under this HS Chapter are not 
affected  to the same degree .

2.4  WTO justification  
2.11.   Paragraph 2(v) of the QR Decision requires Members to provide "an indication of the grounds 
and WTO justification for  the measures maintained  […] and the precise WTO provisions ".  Although 
Members have most frequently cited at  least one WTO provision  for 93.8% of the notified QRs in the 
dataset , they have also cited waivers (1 .2%), the Agreement on Safeguards, provisions  in Protocols 
of Accessions and the TRIPS Agreement . There are 77 QRs for which Members cited more than one 
WTO provision as justification.   On the other hand, there are 15 Members that did not provide a 
WTO justification  for 56 QRs ( 4.6%).   
G/MA/W/114/Rev.2

  2.12.   Chart 4  shows that  the GATT 1994 was the most frequently cited WTO A greement in the 
dataset .  Under this agreement , the "General Exceptions" of Article  XX were the most frequently 
cited:  907 QRs, or 75.1% of the total . Particularly relevant is the reference to paragraph b of Article 
XX, which refers to measures "necessary to protect human, animal or plant life or health", which 
was cited for  almost  50% of the QRs in the dataset .  The "national security" exception of Article  XXI 
was cited as justification for 16.7% of the QRs. Besides the GATT 1994, Members have also referred 
to a lesser extent  to other legal justifications, such as the " Kimberly Process " Waiver9 (14 QRs).   
2.13.   There are several  cases where the reference has been  made  to an Article in ge neral without 
providing further details (e.g. there have been 98 cases  where the Member simply state d 
“Article  XX”), or where the justification closely resembles one of the general exceptions in the GATT , 
but no specific provision was cited (e.g. "protection of  animal life and of the environment ").  For 
analytical purposes, the Secretariat tried to assign the justification in the notification to provision 
that appeared to be the most relevant .

2.14.   Chart 5  provides a breakdown of the measures used to implement the QR under each legal 
provision cited as justification , and whether these affect imports or exports.  Overall, the two most 
common types of measures notified across all provisions  are non-automatic licensing procedures 
(664 measures ) and  prohibitions ( 527 measures ).  For those measures  which ha ve been justified 
through the general exceptions of Article  XX:(b), most of the import measures relate to prohibitions 
(223), non -automatic licensing procedures ( 193), and prohibitions , except under defined conditions 
(81). On the other hand, measures applied on exports  consist mostly of non-automatic licensing 
procedures ( 105) and pr ohibitions ( 51). The large majority of  measures  justified through the national 
security exception of Article  XXI relate to non -automatic licensing procedures ( 167 on imports  and 
80 on exports ).  It should be noted that "non-automatic licences"  for imports  account for most of 
the measures for which no legal justification has been provided  by Members  (43 measures) .

2.5  Non-WTO agreements mentioned  
2.15.   Paragraph (v) of the  QR Decision requires  Members to provide an indication of the grounds 
for the measures maintained , including "any  relevant international commitment  where appropriate" . 
Several  notificatio ns have provided information on non -WTO agreements , but Members have taken 
different approaches.  While some Members have included very detailed information, others have 
refrained from doing so despite being parties to those international conventions . 
2.16.   Table 1  shows the number of QRs that have made reference to international  agreements .  The 
most frequently cited international conventions in the notifications include CITES, the Montreal 
Protocol on Substances that De plete the Ozone Layer, the Rotterdam C onvention, and the Basel 
Convention on Hazardous Wastes, among others.

2.6  Other elements in the notifications  
2.17.   Paragraph 2(vii) of the QR Decision allows Members to provide information on, inter alia , the 
manner in which the restriction is administered , and whether it is applied on a MFN basis or to the 
trade with one  or more trading partners. For example, two thirds  of the measures  in the dataset 
(900 out of 1359) include information on  how the measure  is administered . The Secretariat could 
prepare a more detailed assessment on this information  in future versions of the report should 
Members consider it appropr iate. Six Members provided information on QR measures that are related 
to specific partner s, which are often related to Resolutions by the UN Security Council.   
2.7  Cross -reference to other WTO notifications  
2.18.   Since several measures are already subject to other specific notification requirements under 
different WTO Agreements , and with the goal of avoid ing unnecessary duplication, the QR Decision 
allows Members  to make cross -references  to notifications  to other Committees .10 In this regard, 
Members can include a cross-reference to notifications made pursuant to the Agreement on 
Agriculture, Agreement on Balance of Payments, Agreement on Safeguards, Agreement on Import 
Licensing Procedures (only non -automatic  licensing procedures ), and other agreements .11  Section 2 
of the notification format  allows Members to include information required by paragraph 2 of the QR 
notification  that is not included in the notification to other Committees.

Members and the notificati on referred to does not contain all the information required by the QR 
Decision.   G/MA/W/114/Rev.2
