Request to the Secretariat from the UNITED STATES Regarding  
the Export Competitiveness of Textile and  
Apparel Exports from INDIA  
 
Note by the Secretariat  
 
Addendum  
 
  The United States' request in G/SCM/132 states:    
"The following request is pursuant to Artic le 27.6 of the Agreement on Subsidies and 
Countervailing Measures (the SCM Agreemen t).  The United  States has reason to 
believe that India has met the definition of "export competitiveness", as defined in 
Article 27.6 of the SCM Agreement, for certain products.   
 Therefore, the United States request s that the Secretariat undertake a 
computation of the export competitiveness of textile and apparel exports from India, 
in accordance with Article 27.6 of the SCM Agreement, as described below.   
 (a) The products for which a request is being made include all products 
under Harmonized System (HS) Nomenclature Chapters 50-63.   
 (b) It is requested that the comput ation be made at both the "section" 
level (i.e., Section XI, Textiles and Textile  Articles, chapters 50-63 as a whole) and 
the "heading" level (i.e., the four-digit HS level).   
 (c) It is requested that he export competitiveness computation be 
performed for 1996 and each subsequent cale ndar year and that the results be made 
available as soon as possible."   
 The results of the calculations are attached as Annex I.  The Secretariat has performed the 
calculation as requested, without prejudice to th e relevance or interpretation of the data.   
 
Methodological note
 
  The data were sourced from the United Na tions Statistics Division (UNSD), COMTRADE 
database.  This data base contains official trad e statistics notified by governments to the UN.   
 
 The classification used is the Harmonised System  (HS) 1992 version.  The data are provided 
at four-digit level and at the section level.  The years covered are 1996-2008.    G/SCM/132/Add.1 
Page 2  
 
   To determine World exports the following methodology was used:   
 1. Export data at 4-digit level for reporter countri es available were aggregated.  Those data were 
supplemented by reporters available only in the pr eceding or the succeeding year to arrive at a 
maximum coverage.   
 
2. Export data at 4-digit level for countries a nd territories which did not report were estimated 
using the mirror (import) statistics of countries whose data were in COMTRADE.  Despite the 
relatively low share of this block of countries a nd territories, which account for around 4 per cent of 
total world export trade (if EU intra exports are ex cluded) or about 3 per cent of world trade (if EU 
intra exports are included) on average, their exports are included in the calculations in order to ensure 
the maximum coverage of trade flows at 4-digit level.    3. To obtain total world exports at 4-digit level,  the aggregate mentioned in (2) was added to the 
data for the reporter aggregate mentioned in (1) above.   
 
 Finally, 4-digit level data were aggregated to  section level, in accordance with the United 
States' request.     World exports, both including and excluding intra-EU(27) exports, India's exports, as well as India's share in world exports, both including and ex cluding intra EU(27) exports, are provided.  The 
Secretariat frequently reports trade statistics on both bases (inclusive and exclusive of intra-EU trade).  
Article 27.6 contains no guidance on this issue, and therefore its implications for determinations of 
export competitiveness in the sense of Article 27.6 are not clear.     Empty cells indicate no trade reported for this product by India.
