RECTIFICATIONS ET MODIFICATIONS DES LISTES  
LISTE LX – RÉPUBLIQUE DE CORÉE  
Révision  
La communication ci -après, datée du 2  mars 2023, est distribuée à la demande de la délégation de 
la République de Corée.  
_______________  
 
 
À la suite d'un débat technique avec un Membre et après avoir effectué un autre examen interne de 
la Liste , la République de Corée notifie par la présente les projets révisés de rectifications techniques 
concernant la Liste LX, mentionnés dans les annexes.1 
La Répub lique de Corée a élaboré cette révision qui vise principalement à:  
 
i) corriger une erreur dans le taux de droit consolidé pour les lignes tarifaires 8529909630, 
8529909640 et 8529909650 afin de rendre dûment compte des engagements pris 
conformément à la Déclaration ministérielle sur l'expansion du commerce des produits des 
technologies de l'information  (élargissement de l'ATI) et de modifier la désignation des 
produits pour les lignes en question à des fins de clarification;  
 
ii) modifier la désignation des produits pour les lignes tarifaires 8531801000, 8531809000, 
853690909 0, 9013901000, 9013909000 et 9030339000 à des fins de clarification; et  
 
iii) rendre compte, dans la Liste, de la classification correcte des "a mplificateurs 
hyperfréquence " au niveau à 10 chiffres dans le système de classification coréen et maintenir 
la concession sous forme de franchise de droits  accordée à cette position.  
 
La suppression projetée de la ligne tarifaire 8486409000, qui a été incluse dans les projets de 
rectifications techniques dans le document G/MA/TAR/RS/658, est ainsi retirée. La suppression de 
cette ligne tarifaire avait été envisagée au motif que la ligne tarifaire en question est presque vide 
et qu'elle avait été introduite à tort dans la Liste LX au c ours de la transposition vers le SH2007. 
Cependant, étant donné que la Liste LX est fondée sur le système de classification coréen de 2007, 
dans lequel la ligne tarifaire 8486409000 existait, le présent projet révisé de rectification maintient 
la ligne tar ifaire dans la Liste.  
Des notes explicatives détaillées et des tableaux contenant les projets révisés de rectifications 
figurent dans les annexes, qui remplacent les annexes du document G/MA/TAR/RS/658. Ces 
rectifications proposées sont d'une nature pureme nt technique et  ne modifient pas la portée des 
concessions accordées par la République de Corée au titre de l'ATI élargi.  
_______________  
Si aucune objection n'est notifiée au Secrétariat dans un délai de trois mois à compter de la date du 
présent document , les rectifications et modifications apportées à la Liste LX – République de Corée 
seront considérées comme approuvées et seront formellement certifiées.

- 2 - ANNEX 1 – EXPLANATORY NOTE  
While  preparing its Harmonized System 2012 (HS2012) transposition file , the Republic of Korea has identified some errors and inconsistencies in its 
Schedule that resulted from the introduction of tariff concessions  undertaken pursuant to the  ITA Expansion , which were certified in document 
WT/Let/1 195. Korea , therefore,  proposes to rectify the relevant discrepancies as follows : 
(i) Correcting the b ound duty f or tariff line s 5911900000  and 6307909000 , which are partially covered under the ITA Expansion  
Korea's c oncession for tariff line s 5911900000  and 6307909000 was not correctly reflected in its ITA  Expansion  Schedule , which was certified 
in WT/Let/1 195. The duty -free concession was erroneously assigned to the entire subheading s 5911.90  and 6307.90 , which are partially covered 
under the ITA  Expansion . The products that are not covered by the ITA  Expansion  should maintain their final bound rate  of duty . Therefore, the 
following correction is required to reflect the original commitment s regarding  the products not covered by the ITA  Expansion .

ITA Expansion  
Under  HS07 subheading  8529.90, only items other than OLED are required to be duty-free pursuant to the ITA -Expansion  while OLED 
products can retain their final bound rates . The bound rates in the  products covered by the ITA Expansion and those not covered by this 
agreement  were erroneously  inverted in Korea's existing ITA Expansion Schedule which was certified in WT/Let/1195 . Therefore, the following 
correction for tariff lines 8529909630, 8529909640 and 8529909650 is required to reflect  its original commitments:

- 4 - (iii) Clarifying the product description for tariff lines 8531801000, 8531809000, 8536909090, 9013901000, 9013909000 and 
9030339000 , which are partially covered under the ITA Expansion  
With regard to  tariff lines 8531801000, 8531809000, 8536909090, 9013901000, 9013909000 and 9030339000 , which are partially covered by 
the ITA Expansion,  there is a concern that the existing  product description s for these tariff lines may generate  confusion in understan ding the 
scope of the concessions in Korea's Schedule . The following rectification  aims to  clarify the coverage by the ITA expansion . The proposed change 
does not affect the scope of the duty -free concessions required by the ITA Expansion.

- 6 - (iv) Correcting the classification for tariff lines 85 43709010 and 85 43709090.  
"Microwave amplifiers " should be moved from tariff line 8543709090 to 8543709010  to rectify a classification error  at 10-digit national tariff 
classification level. This change does not  affect the duty-free concession  pursuant to the commitments by the ITA Expansion . In addition,  tariff 
line "8543709090 " for "Others " is insert ed to clarify the final bound rate for the products not covered by the ITA  Expansion , which partially 
covers items under tariff line 8543709090 .
