SITUATION OF SCHEDULES OF WTO MEMBERS 
 
Note by the Secretariat1 
 
Revision  
  
 It was agreed at the Market Access Comm ittee meeting of June 1999 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 23  September  2005.  The introductory text contained in Annex II of 
the original document G/MA/63 has been updated to take into account devel opments since the last 
revision.  It is to be noted that a new column has been added to take account of the status of 
renegotiations under GATT Article XXVIII.    
_______________ 
 
I. INTRODUCTION 
 All WTO Members have a WTO schedule of tari ff 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  Determining 
a Member's concession for a specific tariff line could i nvolve, in some cases, the examining of several 
different legal instruments.   
 
 The attached table reflecting the situation of  schedules of WTO Members has been prepared 
for information purposes and, inter alia , to assist the project team in the Secretariat updating CTS 
files to HS2002.4  The pending work on the schedules of c oncessions derives from obligations related 
to the introduction of the Harmonized System and its subsequent amendments, the results of the 
Uruguay Round, technical modifications or rectific ations of the schedules, as well as renegotiations 
under GATT Article XXVIII.  Some background in formation 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. 
 Column 2: lists the WTO Members in alphabetical order.  It also indicates whether or not 
the Member is a party to the Harmonized System Convention.

 Column 3: indicates the Roman numeral assigned to the Member's schedule.  Its 
equivalent Arabic numeral is included in parenthesis for ease of reference. 
 Column 4: indicates the situation of the Pre- Uruguay Round schedule, if any.  Column 5: indicates whether the schedules of WTO Members are annexed to the 
Marrakesh Protocol or to a Protocol of Accession.  The date of accession and 
references to the relevant documen tation is included for the latter. 
 Column 6: provides information on the transposition of Uruguay Round schedules into 
the Harmonized System and its subsequent amendments.  In the case of Members having acceded after 1  January  1995, it also indicates the tariff 
nomenclature used in the schedule annexed to the its protocol of accession. 
 Column 7:  provides information on the r ectifications/modifications requested by the 
Member, if any. 
 Column 8:  provides information on the renegotiations under GATT Article XXVIII 
initiated by the Member, if any. 
 
II. THE HARMONIZED SYSTEM AND ITS AMENDMENTS 
A. I
NTRODUCTION OF THE HARMONIZED SYSTEM  
 Following the entry into fo rce of the Harmonized System5 (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 HS6.  The GATT Committee on Tariff 
Concessions developed pro cedures for this purpose7.  A certain number of schedules were transposed, 
certified and annexed to Protocols.8  Some Members undertook to renegotiate their schedules in 
connection with the implementation of the HS.  Proce dures relating to four of such transpositions are 
still pending.  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 eith er during the Uruguay Round or at the time of 
their accession.   
 B. F
IRST AMENDMENT TO THE HS (HS92) 
 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 the HS.  The fi rst set of such changes came into force on 
1 January  1992 (HS92).  A second, more substantial,  set of amendments came into force on 
                                                      
5 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 2  February  2005, there are 76 WTO Members (cou nting the EC-25 as one) which are 
contracting parties to the HS Convention.  Practically all the remaining 46 WTO Members apply the HS in spite 
of not being contracting parties to it.   
6 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).  A fourth amendment is 
scheduled to enter into force on 1  January  2007 (HS2007).9   
 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 the 
procedures to implement the HS92 and any future changes relating to the HS.10  Eleven GATT 
contracting parties followed these procedures and submitted the required docum entation, but one of 
them was not formally concluded.11   
 C. S
ECOND AMENDMENT TO THE HS (HS96) 
 Members made use of the same procedur es for introducing modifications resulting from 
HS96 changes.  A total of 49 Members submitted HS96 documentation out of which: 29 were full 
loose-leaf schedules12, 19 included only the HS96 changes and 1 included information on a 
preliminary basis.13  The General Council granted, subject to certain c onditions, a collective waiver to 
19 Members.14  This initial waiver was renewed on ten occasions with a varying number of Members.15  
The General Council noted at its last renewal that, alt hough it would be the last time that an extension 
of the HS96 waiver would be granted collectivel y, Members were not precluded from requesting the 
suspension of Article II on an individual basis.16  Since then, the General Council has approved 36 
individual waiver reque sts from 13 Members.17    
 D. T
HIRD AMENDMENT TO THE HS (HS2002) 
 The General Council established in 2001 new procedures for the introduction of HS2002 
changes into the schedules of concessions.18  Although the HS2002 is being currently applied by most 
WTO Members, only 35 of them submitted th e documentation required by these procedures.19  The 
General Council has granted five  collective waivers suspending the application of GATT Article II20, the 
most recent of which provided a waiver until 31  December  2005 and included a total of 26 Members 
(counting the EC-25 as one).21  The General Council established, in addition, a set of procedures that

would need to be fulfilled by those Members not c overed by the waiver in case they requested to be 
included therein.
22 
  With a view to further facilitating and simp lifying the introduction of HS2002 changes in the 
schedules of concessions of all Member s, the General Council adopted on 15  February  2005 
amendments to the procedures in which the Conso lidated Tariff Schedule (CTS) database would be 
used as a working tool.  Furthermore, the Secretar iat was instructed to transpose the schedules of 
concessions of all de veloping countries. 
23  
  The status of HS92 changes is included in Co lumn 3 of the table as it relates to pre-UR 
schedules.  Column 6 reflects the situation of HS96 and HS2002 changes.  This column also indicates, 
in the case of unfinished transposition procedures, whether or not the Member is currently under a 
GATT Article II waiver.   
III. RECTIFICATIONS/MODIFICATIONS OF SCHEDULES 
 Following the Uruguay Round, a number of WTO Members submitted rectifications and 
modifications to UR schedules.  The procedures for such rectifications/modifications were adopted by 
the GATT Contracting parties on 26 March 1980
24.  These rectifications/modifications include 
concessions made in the context of the Ministeria l Declaration on Trade in Information Technology 
Products (ITA), the revisions and additions to the Pharmaceutical Understanding (Pharma), as well as 
bilateral sectoral negotiations (distille d spirits).  These procedures have  also been used in connection 
with Annex 5 of the Agreement on Agriculture .  Other notifications include autonomous 
improvements in concessions, cha nges pursuant to provisions of WTO Agreements, information on 
other duties and charges (ODCs) and changes of a technical nature.     Column 7 reflects the situation on rectif ications and modifications of schedules. 
Rectifications/modifications pertaining to the ITA,  the Pharma, ODCs, Annex 5 of the Agreement on 
Agriculture, or the results of bilateral negotiations on distilled spirits have been expressly identified.  
All others have been referred to as "other".  Some  of these changes have been certified, while many of 
them remain pending for varying reasons (reser vations, domestic approval procedures, etc.).  
 
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.
25   
  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.
26  Although the early practice makes it difficult to 
                                                      
22 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.   
23 Decision of 15  February  2005, WT/L/605. 
24 GATT BISD  27S/25. 
25 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.   
26 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  G/MA/W/23/Rev.2

determine the exact number of renegotiations th at took place under the GATT, the Secretariat's 
records show that at least 42 contracting parti es initiated approximately 300 renegotiations between 
1951 and 1994.27   
  The 1980 procedures indicate that a Member invoking Article XXVIII should submit to the 
Secretariat for distribution the following documentation:  (i)  a report and a joint letter upon 
completion of each bilateral negotiation and (ii)  a final report upon completi on of all its bilateral 
negotiations.  In practice, however, only 19 final re ports were received by the Secretariat for the 79 
renegotiations initiated between 1981 and 1994.
28  The status registered by the Secretariat for 
renegotiations lacking a final report is varied.  Wh ile in a few cases the contracting parties withdrew 
the invocation of Article XXVIII, in others they  only submitted partial information regarding the 
bilateral agreements reached.  No further info rmation was received by the Secretariat after the 
initiation of many renegotiations and a few of them were 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), (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 23 renegotiations under GATT Article XXVIII since the establishment of the 
WTO in 1995, 4 of which have been certified, 3 ha ve been withdrawn, 4 have been concluded but 
have not been certified for various reasons, and 1 relates to procedures under GATT Article XXIV:6.  
The remaining 12 renegotiations are still ongoing.  Column 8 reflects the status registered by the 
Secretariat for all renegotiations invoked from 1  January  1981 when the current procedures started 
being implemented.  The table also includes rene gotiations related to GATT Article XXIV:6.  The 
term "unclear" has been used for all those GA TT renegotiations carried between 1981 and 1994 in 
which there is no final report or any other form al document indicating the conclusion of such 
negotiations.  Please note that 19 Article XXV III renegotiations invoked by the EEC-9 and the 
individual EC-15 member states are not reflected in the column.
29   
 
V. CURRENT SITUATION OF SCHEDULES 
 Members are at very different stages with  respect to their schedules.  Some Members 
currently applying the HS, and even HS2002, still have  pre-UR schedules which are set in a different 
                                                                                                                                                                     
Concessions, which were finally adopted as guidelines on 10  November  1980.  See GATT doc. C/113 and 
Corr.1,  GATT BISD  27S/26. 
27 Because of their provisional natu re, tariff commitments made in the 1947 Geneva negotiations had 
an initial validity of three years.  Consequently, the original drafting of GATT Ar ticle XXVIII contained no 
provision for the modification or withdrawal of these commitments before 1 January 1951.  Contracting Parties 
extended the validity of these Schedules and amended GATT Article XXVIII on various occasions.  During the 
Torquay Tariff Conference of 1950 the negotiations for new concessions took place in parallel with some renegotiations.  The Review Session of the GATT that to ok place subsequently disposed of the need to extend 
the validity of the Schedules periodically.  It also proposed amendments for several Articles of the GATT 
(including Article XXVIII) and proposed 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 sets out the current form of this provision.   
28 See footnote 25.  The status of GATT Article XXVIII negotiations up to June  1980 can be consulted 
in GATT doc. TAR/W/7 of 18  June 1980. 
29 The 19 GATT renegotiations that were initiated during the period 1981-1994, and which were not 
reflected in the table, are the following:  EC-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.2

nomenclature.  In these cases, and in order to en sure consistency between the customs tariff and 
schedule of concessions, the Member needs to tran spose its schedule into the HS.  Other Members 
have pre-UR schedules which have already been tr ansposed into the HS, but only into the 1988 or 
1992 versions, and the HS96 and HS 2002 transpositions are still pendi ng.  The transposition of CTS 
files into HS2002 could be used to assist these Members in bringing up to date th eir obligations in this 
area.  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.    G/MA/W/23/Rev.2
