GENERALIZED SYSTEM OF PREFERENCES 
 
Notification by Switzerland
 
 
Addendum  
 
  The following communication, dated 7 October 2009,  is being circulated at the request of the 
delegation of Switzerl and.  It contains a notification by Swit zerland of its revised Generalized System 
of Preferences (GSP) Scheme, which is f ounded on the following two legal instruments: 
 
• Federal Law of 9 October 1981 on the Granting of Tariff Preferences for Developing 
Countries RS 632.91; and  
 
• Federal Ordinance of 16 March 2007 on Preferen tial Tariff Rates for Developing Countries 
RS 632.911. 
 
_______________ 
 
1. Overview 
1. The Swiss Federal Provision of 9 October 1981 on the Granting of Tariff Preferences for 
Developing Countries was limited until 28 February 200 7.  In order to continue granting unilateral 
tariff preferences, the Swiss Parliament, on 6 October 2006, has unanimously approved the 
prolongation in the form of Federal Law of 9 October 1981 on the Granting of Tariff Preferences for 
Developing Countries for an unlimited period en tering into force on 1 March 2007.  
2. On this basis, the Swiss Federal Council,  per 1 April 2007, has introduced duty-free 
quota-free (DFQF) market access for goods originating in Least-Developed Countries (LDCs) and – on a temporary basis – for countries currently in the process of debt relief.  With this initiative, the 
gradual introduction of DFQF market access for these  countries could be achieved (see the previous 
notifications WT/COMTD/N/7, WT/COMTD/N/7/A dd.1 and WT/COMTD/N/7/Add.2).  In a second 
step, tariff preferences for agricultural goods for all beneficiary countries have been significantly 
enlarged. 
3. The revised GSP is better focused on those benefi ciary countries that are not able to access 
the Swiss market without profiting from tariff prefer ences.  The criteria used within the Swiss GSP to 
achieve this aim are internationally recognized, objective, comprehensible and easily exercisable.  
4. The corresponding ordinance on rules of origin is currently under revision.  As the EC, 
Norway and Switzerland mutually recognize their resp ective rules of origin, this revision is closely 
coordinated with the like attempts in Norway and the EC. WT/COMTD/N/7/Add.3

  2. Scope 
5. Countries benefitting from tariff preferences are listed in Annex 1.  The list is established on 
the basis of internationally reco gnized criteria.  The list of ODA recipients of the Development 
Assistance Committee of the OECD (OECD-DAC) builds the basis for the overall selection of 
beneficiary countries.  The definition of LDCs is used according to the UN Economic and Social 
Council. 
6. Annex 1 has been updated.  Ukraine and Belarus have been included in the list.  Timor-Leste 
has been granted LDC status.  Annex 1 is revised periodically. 
3. General tariff preferences 
7. Tariff preferences are listed in Annex 2.  Pref erences of imports of agricultural goods have 
been significantly enlarged, includ ing first and foremost processed  agricultural products, where in 
most cases DFQF market access applies. 
4. Special scheme for LDCs and countries undergoing debt relief 
8. Aiming at a better market access for products originating from LDCs, Switzerland had begun 
to gradually introduce DFQF market access al ready in 2001 and in 2004 (see the previous 
notifications WT/COMTD/N/7, WT/COMTD/N/7/A dd.1 and WT/COMTD/N/7/Add.2).  The gradual 
introduction of DFQF market access has been achieved with the third and last reduction of tariffs to 
zero – the first step reduced tariffs to 50 per cent, the second to 25 per cent of the MFN duty. 
9. LDCs are not the only countri es where focused support and be tter market access can foster 
the integration into global trade.  This also c ounts for countries currently being in the process of 
international debt relief and not ye t having received full and irrevocable reduction in debt.  Therefore, 
DFQF market access also applies to these countries on a temporary basis.  The currently relevant 
criterion is the participation in the Heavily Indebted  Poor Countries (HIPC) Initiative.  HIPC countries 
will be granted DFQF market acces s from "pre-decision point".  After the "completion point", the 
regular GSP preferences shall apply.  The process is  monitored regularly.  HIPC countries with LDC  
status after "completion point" still benefit from DFQF market access due to their LDC status. 
5. Exclusion of internationally competitive goods 
10. A new mechanism foresees the graduation of internationally competitive goods originating 
from further advanced beneficiary countries.  This  mechanism is applied only in a very restricted 
manner.  Main condition is that products are able to enter the Swiss market  on an MFN basis almost 
in the same quantities and that imports of like produc ts originating in other beneficiary countries are 
endangered by granting tariff preferences to these internationally competitive goods. 
11. The definition used in the Agreement on Subs idies and Countervailing Measures is taken as 
reference for international competitiveness:  An exported item will be treated as competitive if it 
attains 3.25 per cent market share in world trad e of that particular product for two consecutive 
calendar years. 
12. The restrictive use of this mechanism is jus tified since it is the aim of the Swiss GSP to 
enable market access and to help integrating bene ficiary countries into global trade – and not to 
prevent beneficiary countries to benefit from global trade once some of their products have become 
competitive.  A recent review of this mechanism has shown that in the viewed cases where this 
mechanism had been applied, the share of imports  of products graduated from GSP treatment had not 
decreased significantly.  Hence, this graduation mechanism is applied with care and does not hamper trade with the countries concerned.  It allows ot her GSP beneficiary countries, however, to attain 
better market access.  WT/COMTD/N/7/Add.3
