Revision  
 
  It was agreed at the Market Access Committ ee meeting of 22 June 199 9 that Annex II of 
document G/MA/63, setting out the situation of  schedules of WTO Members, would be updated 
periodically.
2  In this connection, please find attached an update of the status of Members' schedules 
incorporating information up to 17 March 2009.  Th e introductory text contained in Annex II of the 
original document G/MA/63 has been updated to take into account developments since the last 
revision.  
________________ 
  
I. INTRODUCTION 
 All WTO Members have a schedule of tariff concessions which is either annexed to the 
Marrakesh Protocol to the GATT 1994 or to a Pr otocol of Accession.  Some Members have also 
schedules pre-dating the Uruguay Round which reflect concessions granted previously.
3 
 
 The attached table reflecting the current s ituation of schedules of WTO Members has been 
prepared for information purposes in order to assist, inter alia , the project team in the Secretariat 
updating the CTS files into HS20024 and into HS20075.  The pending work on the schedules of 
concessions derives from obligations related to th e introduction of the Harmonized System and its 
subsequent amendments, the results of the Uruguay R ound, technical modifications or rectifications to 
the schedules, as well as renegotiations under GATT Ar ticle XXVIII.  Some background information 
on these issues has been provided for ease of reference.    The table consists of the following columns:  
 Column 1: Indicates the item number in the table.

II. THE HARMONIZED SYSTEM AND ITS AMENDMENTS 
A. I
NTRODUCTION OF THE HARMONIZED SYSTEM  
 Following the entry into fo rce of the Harmonized System6 (HS) on 1  January  1988 (HS88), 
the pre-UR schedules of those GATT Contracting Par ties which were also contracting parties to the 
HS Convention were required to be transposed into the HS nomenclature7.  The GATT Committee on 
Tariff Concessions developed procedures for this purpose8.  A number of schedules were transposed, 
certified and annexed to Protocols.9  Some Members undertook to renegotiate their schedules in 
connection with the implementation of the HS.  The situation regarding pre-UR schedules is set out in 
column 4 of the table.  The term "None" is used  for those Members that had no GATT schedule of 
concessions.  It should, however, be noted that these Members did submit a schedule either during the 
Uruguay Round or at the time of their accession.     The Harmonized System Committee of the Wo rld Customs Organization (WCO) undertakes a 
periodic review of the HS to take account of chang es in technology and patterns in international trade, 
and recommends amendments to it.  The first set  of such modifications came into force on 
1 January  1992 (HS92).  A second, more substantial,  set of amendments came into force on 
                                                     
 
6 The Harmonized System (HS) nomenclature, which was developed in the World Customs 
Organization (formerly the Customs Cooperation Council), entered into force on 1 January 1988 through a 
Convention.  As of June 2008, there are 88 WTO Members (counting the EC-27 as one) which are contracting parties to the HS Convention.  Practically all the re maining 38 WTO Members apply the HS in spite of not 
being contracting parties to it.   
7 Article 3 of the HS Convention obliges HS contrac ting parties to ensure that their customs tariff and 
statistical nomenclatures are in conf ormity with the Harmonized System.  It is to be noted that those GATT 
Contracting Parties which were not c ontracting parties to the HS, but nevertheless applied the HS in their 
national customs tariff, also undertook this exercise in order to keep the authentic texts of their schedules up to 
date and in conformity with their national customs tariff.

  1 January  1996 (HS96), and a third one on 1  January  2002 (HS2002).  The most recent amendment 
entered into force on 1  January  2007 (HS2007).10   
 B. F
IRST AMENDMENT TO THE HS (HS92) 
 With a view to keeping the authentic texts of GATT schedules up to date and in conformity 
with the national customs tariff, the Committee on Tariff Concessions adopted in 1991 simplified 
procedures to implement the HS92 and any future changes relating to the HS.11  Eleven GATT 
Contracting Parties followed these procedures and submitted the required doc umentation, with only 
one of them still pending.12 
 
C. SECOND AMENDMENT TO THE HS (HS96) 
 Members made use of the 1991 procedures for introducing modifications to the schedules 
resulting from the introduction of HS96.  A tota l of 49 Members submitted the required HS96 
documentation, out of which: 29 were full loose-leaf schedules13, 19 reflected only the HS96 changes 
and 1 included information on a preliminary basis.14  The General Council adopted, subject to certain 
conditions, a "collective waiver" suspending the application of GATT Article II for 19 Members.15  
This initial waiver was rene wed on ten occasions and covere d a varying number of Members.16  The 
General Council noted at its last renewal that, although it would be the last time that an extension of the HS96 waiver would be granted collectively,  Members were not precluded from requesting the 
suspension of GATT Article II on an individual basis.
17  Since then, the Gene ral Council has adopted 
46 individual waiver requests from 13 Members.18 
 
D. THIRD AMENDMENT TO THE HS (HS2002) 
 The General Council established on 18 July 2 001 a set of new procedures for the introduction 
of HS2002 changes into the schedules of concessions.19  Although HS2002 was implemented by most 
WTO Members, only 35 of them submitted the documentation required by the procedures.20  With a 
view to further facilitating and simplifying the in troduction of HS2002 changes in the schedules of 
concessions of all Members, the General Council adopted on 15  February  2005 a set of amendments 
to the procedures in which the Consolidated Tari ff Schedule (CTS) database was to be used as a

  working tool.  Furthermore, the Secretariat was inst ructed to transpose the schedules of all developing 
countries.
21  Although the Secretariat has concluded the technical work on most of these schedules, 
there are several files which remain pending due to the lack of approval or comments by the Member 
concerned.22  Modifications to the schedules of 29 Member s have been circulated pursuant to the 1980 
procedures for rectification and modification of schedules, and 27 of them have been certified. 
 
 The General Council has adopted eight "col lective waivers" and one individual waiver 
suspending the applicat ion of GATT Article II23 on an annual basis until 31  December  2009.  The latest 
applies to 20 Members (co unting the EC-27 as one).24  The General Council estab lished, in addition, a 
set of procedures that would need to be followed by  any other Member wishing to be covered by the 
waiver.25 
 
E. FOURTH AMENDMENT TO THE HS (HS2007) 
 The General Council adopted on 15 December 2006 new procedures for the introduction of 
HS2007 changes into schedules of concessions.26  It also adopted three "c ollective waivers" suspending 
the application of GATT Articl e II on an annual basis until 31  December  2009.27  The first waiver also 
provided that any other Member could be include d upon request, and three Members have made use 
of this provision.28.  There are currently 27 Members (counting the EC-27 as one) covered by the third 
waiver. 29 
 F. 
STATUS OF HS TRANSPOSITIONS  
 The status of HS92 changes and the introduction of the HS are included in Column 3 of the 
table as it relates to pre-UR sch edules.  Column 6 reflects the situation of HS96, HS2002 and HS2007 
changes.  This column also indicates, for those transposition procedures which remain pending, whether or not the Member is currently under a waiv er suspending the application of GATT Article II.  
 III. RECTIFICATIONS/MODIFICATIONS OF SCHEDULES 
 Following the Uruguay Round, a number of WTO Members submitted rectifications and 
modifications to their UR schedules.  The procedur es for the rectifications/modifications of schedules 
were adopted by the GATT Contracting Parties on 26 March 1980
30.  Modifications made pursuant to 
                                                      
21 Decision of 15  February  2005, WT/L/605. 
22 See JOB(06)/8/Rev.9. 
23 The Decisions are contained in documents WT /L/469, WT/L/477 (in respect of Romania), 
WT/L/511, WT/L/562, WT/L/598, WT/L/638, WT/L/674, WT/L/712 and WT/L/744. 
24 The annex to the waiver contained in document WT/L/712 lists the following Members:  Argentina; 
Australia; Brazil; China; Costa Rica; Croatia; El Salvador; EC-27; Iceland; India; Republic of Korea; Mexico; 
New Zealand; Nicaragua; Norway; Singapore; Chines e Taipei; Thailand; United States; and Uruguay. 
25 The Decision indicates that those Members not listed in the Annex shall submit the documentation 
required under paragraph 1 of the Procedures in Attach ment B of WT/L/407, prior to submitting their respective 
request to be covered by the waiver. 
26 WT/L/673. 
27 WT/L/673, WT/L/713 and WT/L/745. 
28 The Decision provides that those Members not listed in the Annex may notify the Committee on 
Market Access of its wish to be included in the waiver decision. Thailand, Mexico and Pakistan made such a 
notification and were included in the waiver (WT/L/675/Add.1, WT/L/675/Add.2 and WT/L/675/Add.3 respectively). 
29 The annex to the third waiver lists the following Members:  Argentina; Australia; Brazil; Canada; 
Costa Rica; Croatia; Dominican Republic; El Salvador; European Communities; Guatemala; Honduras; Hong Kong, China; India; Israel; Korea; Macao, China;  Malaysia; Mexico; New Zealand; Nicaragua; Norway; 
Pakistan; Singapore; Switzerland; Thailand; United States; and Uruguay.

  these procedures have included, inter alia : (i) modifications of a technical nature; (ii) concessions 
made in the context of the Ministerial Declar ation on Trade in Information Technology Products 
(ITA)31; (iii) revisions and additions to the product coverage of the Pharmaceutical Understanding 
(Pharma)32; (iv) bilateral sectoral negotiations (e.g. di stilled spirits); (v) modifications pursuant to 
Annex 5 of the Agreement on Agriculture; and (v i) autonomous improvements in concessions.   
 
 Column 7 reflects the situation concerning the rectifications and modifications of schedules. 
Those pertaining to the ITA, the Pharma, ODCs, Annex 5 of the Agreement on Agriculture, and the 
results of bilateral negotiations on distilled spirits have been expressl y identified.  All others have 
been referred to as "other".  Some 163 proposals for modifications/rectifications of schedules have 
been put forward for the consideration of Members33, 26 of which have been formally concluded by 
means of a Procès-Verbal  of rectification and 125 through a certif ication.  There are approximately 13 
procedures which have not concluded for va rious reasons (reservations, domestic approval 
procedures, etc.) or have not been pur sued further by the Member concerned34.   
 IV. RENEGOTIATIONS UNDER GATT ARTICLE XXVIII 
 Members are allowed to modify or withdraw concessions from their schedule through 
negotiation and agreement with other Members.  Article XXVIII entitled "Modification of Schedules" 
is the main GATT 1994 provision dealing with  the renegotiation of a tariff concession.
35   
  A 1957 note by the GATT Secretariat, con cerning arrangements for negotiations under 
Article XXVIII, set out the procedural guidelines that were used until November 1980 when the 
current guidelines for procedures were adopted.
36  Although the early practice makes it difficult to 
determine the exact number of renegotiations th at took place under the GATT, the Secretariat's 
records show that at least 42 GATT Contracting Parties initiated roughly 300 renegotiations between 
1951 and 1994.37   
                                                      
31 WT/MIN(96)/16. 
32 GATT document L/7430.  Reviews to the product coverage have been agreed by the participants and 
circulated in G/MA/W/10 (1st review), G/MA/W/18 (2nd review) and G/MA/W/85 (3rd review). 
33 The number of proposals is calculated based on all documents circulated under the G/MA/TAR/RS, 
G/SP and G/RS document symbols, as well as various independent Procès-Verbal  of Rectification.  It does not 
take account of the modifications circulated pursuant to the HS2002 procedures (see section 2.D). 
34 The estimate takes account of procedures which we re subsequently replaced or overtaken by other 
procedures.  
35 The provisions of the Understanding on the Interpretation of Article XXVIII of the GATT 1994 and 
the Procedures for Negotiation under Arti cle XXVIII, Guidelines adopted on 10  November  1980 (GATT 
BISD  27S/26), are also applicable.   
36 In compliance with instructions given by the Contracting Parties (L/641, GATT BISD  6S/158) the 
Executive Secretary issued a note c oncerning the arrangements for negotiations under GATT Article XXVIII on 
31 May 1957 (GATT doc. L/635).  A revised version of the procedural guidelines were prepared in 1978 
(GATT doc. L/4651) which served as the basis for th e technical discussions at the Committee on Tariff 
Concessions, which were finally adopted as guidelines on 10  November  1980.  See GATT doc. C/113 and 
Corr.1,  GATT BISD  27S/26. 
37 Due to their provisional nature, tariff commitments made in the 1947 Geneva negotiations had an 
initial validity of three years.  Consequently, the or iginal drafting of GATT Artic le XXVIII contained no 
provision for the modification or withdrawal of these commitments before 1 January 1951.  Contracting Parties 
initially extended the validity of these Schedules through "Declarations on the Continued Application of Schedules".  During the Torquay Tari ff Conference of 1950 the negotiations for ne w concessions took place in 
parallel with some renegotiations.  The Review Session of the GATT that took place su bsequently disposed of 
the need to extend the validity of the Schedules periodica lly.  It also proposed amendments to several Articles of 
the GATT (including Article XXVIII) and propos ed the incorporation of a new Article XXVIII bis entitled 
"Tariff negotiations".  These amendments were formally adopted through the Protocol Amending the Preamble 
and Parts II and III of the General Agreement of 10  March  1955, which entered into force on 7 October 1957.   G/MA/W/23/Rev.6 
Page 6  
 
   
 The 1980 procedures provide for a Member undertaking GATT Article XXVIII negotiations 
to submit to the Secretariat: (i)  a report and a joint letter upon comp letion of each bilateral negotiation 
and (ii)  a final report upon completion of all its bilate ral negotiations.  In practice, however, only 19 
final reports were received by the Secretariat for the 79 renegotiations initiated between 1981 and 
1994.
38  The status recorded by the Secretariat for re negotiations lacking a final report is diverse.  
While in a few cases the Contracting Parties withdr ew the invocation of Article XXVIII, in others 
they only submitted partial information regarding the bilateral agreements reached.  No further 
information has been received by the Secretariat after the initiation of many these renegotiations and 
only a few of them were formally carried-over into the WTO.   
 
 It remains unclear for the majority of these Pre-UR renegotiations whether they were: (i) concluded with the relevant Contracting Parties and their results incorporated into the Schedule 
annexed to the Marrakesh Protocol to the GATT 1994 (MP) during the Uruguay Round, 
(ii) concluded, but its results overridden by the Schedule annexed to the MP, (iii)  concluded with all 
the relevant Contracting Parties, but never reported or included in a schedule, or (iv)  are still ongoing. 
  There have been 34 requests to enter into  renegotiations under GATT Article XXVIII since 
the establishment of the WTO in 1995, 4 of which ha ve been withdrawn, 8 ha ve been concluded and 
formally certified, and 5 have b een concluded but have not been  certified for various reasons.  
Although the remaining 17 are in principle still ongoing, it should be noted that 2 of them relate to 
schedules which were withdrawn in the context of an enlargement of the European Communities (i.e. 
Hungary and Bulgaria).   Column 8 reflects the status recorded by th e Secretariat for all renegotiations invoked from 
1 January  1981 when the current procedures started bei ng implemented.  The table also includes 
renegotiations related to GATT Article XXIV:6.  Th e term "unclear" has been used for all those 
GATT renegotiations initiated between 1981 and 1994 in which there is no final report or any other 
formal document indicating the conclusion of such ne gotiations.  It should finally be noted that 19 
Article XXVIII renegotiations invoked before the end of the UR by the EEC-9 and some of the EC-15 
member states are not reflected therein.
39   
 V. CURRENT SITUATION OF SCHEDULES 
 Members are at very different stages with  respect to their schedules.  Some Members 
currently applying the HS, and even HS2007, still ha ve pre-UR concessions which are scheduled in a 
different nomenclature.  In these cases, and in orde r to ensure consistency between the customs tariff 
which is being applied in practi ce and its schedule of concessions, the Member needs to transpose its 
schedule into the HS.  Some Members have pre-UR  schedules which have already been transposed 
                                                     
 
38 See footnote 35.  The status of GATT Article XXVIII negotiations up to June  1980 can be consulted 
in GATT doc. TAR/W/7 of 18  June 1980. 
39 The 19 GATT renegotiations that were initiated during the period 1981-1994 and which are not 
reflected in the table are the following:  EEC-9 (SECRET/270, SECRET/286, SECRET/296, SECRET/310, 
SECRET/311, SECRET/312, SECRET/317 and SECRET/325), Austria (SECRET/291 and SECRET/323), Finland (SECRET/320 and SECRET/321), Portugal  (SECRET/300), Spain (SECRET/308), Sweden 
(SECRET/278, SECRET/299, SECRET/322, SECRET/327 and SECRET/331).  G/MA/W/23/Rev.6

  into the HS, but only into the 1988 or 1992 versions, and not into the one currently being applied.  
Other Members have their HS2002 changes certified,  but not their HS96 changes.  The transposition 
of CTS files into HS2002 and HS2007 by the Secretariat could be an opportunity for Members to bring up to date their obligations in this area.  Finally, it would also be advisable for Members to 
clarify the status of those Pre-UR GATT Article  XXVIII renegotiations for those cases in which the 
status remains unclear.
