Revision 
 1. It was agreed at the Market Access Committee 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 12 April 2012.  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 
2. All WTO Members have a schedule of tariff c oncessions which is either annexed to the 
Marrakesh Protocol to the GATT 1994 or to a Protocol of Accession3.  Some Members have also 
schedules pre-dating the Uruguay Round which reflect concessions granted previously.4 
3. The attached table reflecting the current situ ation 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 HS19965, HS20026, HS20077 and HS20128.  The pending work on the 
schedules of concessions derives from obligations related to the introduction of the Harmonized 
System and its subsequent amendments, the results  of the Uruguay Round, technical modifications or

 II. THE HARMONIZED SYSTEM AND ITS AMENDMENTS 
A. I
NTRODUCTION OF THE HARMONIZED SYSTEM  
5. Following the entry into for ce of the Harmonized System9 (HS) on 1  January  1988 (HS88), 
the pre-UR schedules of those GATT Contracting Parties that were also contracting parties to the HS Convention were required to be transposed into the HS nomenclature
10.  The GATT Committee on 
Tariff Concessions developed procedures for this purpose11.  A number of schedules were transposed, 
certified and annexed to Protocols.12  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 which did not have a GATT 
                                                      
9 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 5 March 2012, there are 93 WT O Members (counting the EU-27 as one), which are 
contracting parties to the HS Convention.  Practically all the remaining 33 WTO Members apply the HS in spite 
of not being contracting parties to it.   
10 Article 3 of the HS Convention obliges HS contracting 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 that were not contracting parties to the HS, but nevertheless applied the HS in their national 
customs tariff, also undertook this exercise in order to k eep the authentic texts of their schedules up to date and 
in conformity with their national customs tariff.

  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.   
6. The Harmonized System Committee of the Wo rld Customs Organization (WCO) undertakes a 
periodic review of the HS nomenclature to take account of changes 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 
1 January  1996 (HS96), a third one on 1  January  2002 (HS2002) and a fourth one on 1 January 2007 
(HS2007).  The most recent set of amendments was introduced on 1  January  2012 (HS2012).13   
B. FIRST AMENDMENT TO THE HS (HS92) 
7. 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.14  Eleven GATT 
Contracting Parties followed these procedures and submitted the required doc umentation, with only 
one of them still pending.15 
C. SECOND AMENDMENT TO THE HS (HS96) 
8. 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 schedules16, 19 reflected only the HS96 changes 
and one included information on a preliminary basis.17  The General Council adopted, subject to 
certain conditions, a "collective waiver" suspending the application of Article II of the GATT for 33 Members.
18  This initial waiver was renewed on ten occasions and covered a varying number of 
Members.19  The General Council noted at  its last renewal that, alth ough it would be the last time that 
an extension of the HS96 waiver would be gran ted collectively, Members were not precluded from 
requesting the suspension of GATT Article II on an individual basis.20  Since then, the General 
Council has adopted 48 individual waiver requests from 13 Members.21  
9. Noting that 64 developing Members had not followed the 1991 procedures to introduce the 
modifications resulting from the introduction of HS 96, the General Council adopted in 2010 a new set

  of procedures.
22  This Decision instructed the Secretar iat to conduct the technical work for the 
transposition of the Schedules, using the Conso lidated Tariff Schedule database (CTS) as a working 
tool.  The files were subject to multilateral revi ew in dedicated sessions of the Committee on Market 
Access.  The procedures have almost been finali zed for the 64 Members concerned, including the 
circulation pursuant to the 1980 procedures for rectification and modification of 62 schedules, of 
which 61 have been certified.23 
D. THIRD AMENDMENT TO THE HS (HS2002) 
10. The General Council established on 18 July 2001 a set of new procedures for the introduction 
of HS2002 changes into the schedules of concessions.24  Although HS2002 had been implemented by 
most WTO Members, only 35 of them submitted the documentation required by these procedures.25  
With a view to further facilitating and simplifyi ng the introduction 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 Conso lidated Tariff Schedule (CTS) database was to be 
used as a working tool.  The Secretariat was instru cted to transpose the schedules of all developing 
countries.26    
11. Although the Secretariat concluded the technical  work on most of Schedules, procedures 
remained outstanding for a high number of files in spite of the absence of comments by other Members and due to the lack of approval or comments by the Member concerned.
27  With a view to 
redressing this situation, the Ge neral Council adopted on 14 Decemb er 2010 a new decision amending 
the procedures.28   
12. As a result of the amendments in the procedur es of the 18 July 2001 Decision, modifications 
to 101 schedules have been circulated pursuant to the 1980 procedures for rectification and 
modification of schedules and 99 of them have been certified29. 
13. The General Council has adopted eleven "col lective waivers" and one individual waiver 
suspending the application of  Article II of the GATT 30 on an annual basis until 31  December  2012.  The 
latest applies to 10 Members (counting the EU-27 as one).31  The General Council established, in 
addition, a set of procedures and conditions that would need to be followed by any other Member 
wishing to be covered by the waiver.32

Argentina, Australia, Brazil, China, Croatia, European Union, Iceland, India, Mexico, and Uruguay.  Malaysia 
and Thailand are no longer covered as they have concluded the exercise. 
32 The Decision indicates that those Members not liste d in the Annex, that have approved their draft 
HS02 files and whose draft HS02 files have been releas ed for multilateral review, shall notify the Committee on 
Market Access of their wish to be  included in the waiver decision.  G/MA/W/23/Rev.8

  E. FOURTH AMENDMENT TO THE HS (HS2007) 
14. The General Council adopted on 15 December 2006 procedures for the introduction of 
HS2007 changes into schedules of concessions.33  On 30 November 2011, Members adopted a 
decision amending the transposition procedures leading to the certification of HS2007 changes.34  
Under the revised procedures, developed country Members, and developing countries that made a 
notification by 31 December 2011, shall prepare their own transposition an d the Secretariat shall 
transpose the schedules of all remaining Members. 
15. The General Council has also adopted six "colle ctive waivers" suspending the application of 
Article II of the GATT on an annual basis until 31  December  2012.35  The waivers also provide that any 
other Member could be included therein upon requ est.  Five Members have made use of this 
provision.36  There are currently 29 Members (counting the EU-27 as one) covered by the sixth HS2007 
collective waiver.37 
F. FIFTH AMENDMENT TO THE HS (HS2012) 
16. The General Council adopted on 30 November 2011 the procedures for the introduction and 
certification of HS2012 into schedules of concessions.38 Under this decision, developed country 
Members, and developing countries that made a notif ication by 31 December 2011, shall prepare their 
own transposition and the Secretariat shall tran spose the schedules of all remaining Members. 
17. The General Council has adopted a "collective wa iver" suspending the application of Article 
II of the GATT on an annual basis until 31 December 201239. The waiver also provides that any other 
Member could be included therein upon request.  There are currently 25 Members (counting the EU-
27 as one) covered by the HS2012 waiver.40 
G. STATUS OF HS TRANSPOSITIONS  
18. The status of HS92 changes and the introduction of the HS are included in Column 4 of the 
table as it relates to pre-UR schedules.  Column 6 reflects the situation of HS96, HS2002, HS2007 and HS2012 changes.  This column also indicates,  for those transposition procedures which remain 
pending, whether or not the Member is currently  under a waiver suspending the application of 
Article II of the GATT.

35 WT/L/675, WT/L/713, WT/L/745, WT/L/787, WT/L/809, and WT/L/833. 
36 The Decision provides that those Members not listed in the Annex may notify the Committee on 
Market Access of its wish to be in cluded in the waiver decision. Tha iland, Mexico, Pakistan, Singapore, and 
Israel have used this provision (WT/L/675/Add.1, WT/L/675/Add.2, WT/L/675/Add.3, WT/L/675/Add.4, and 
WT/L/787/Add.1 respectively). 
37 The annex to the sixth waiver lists the following Members:  Argentina; Australia; Brazil; Canada; 
China; Costa Rica; Croatia; Domini can Republic; El Salvador; Europe an Union; Guatemala; Honduras; 
Hong Kong, China; India;  Israel; Korea, Republic of Macao, Ch ina; Malaysia; Mexico; New Zealand;

  III. RECTIFICATIONS/MODIFICATIONS OF SCHEDULES 
19. 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
41.  Modifications made pursuant to 
these procedures have included, inter alia : (i) modifications of a technical nature that not affect the 
scope of the concessions; (ii) concessions made in the context of the Ministerial Declaration on Trade 
in Information Technology Products (ITA)42; (iii) revisions and additions to the product coverage of 
the Pharmaceutical Understanding (Pharma)43; (iv) bilateral sectorial negotiations (e.g. distilled 
spirits); (v) modifications pursuant to Annex 5 of  the Agreement on Agriculture; and (vi) autonomous 
improvements in concessions.   
20. Column 7 reflects the situation concerning the r ectifications and modifications of schedules. 
Those pertaining to the ITA, the Pharma, Othe r Duties and Charges (ODCs), Annex 5 of the 
Agreement on Agriculture, and the results of bila teral negotiations on dis tilled spirits have been 
expressly identified.  All others have been labe lled as "other".  Approximately 173 proposals for 
modifications/rectifications of schedules have b een put forward for the consideration of Members 
since the establishment of the WTO44, 23 of which have been formally concluded by means of a 
Procès-Verbal  of rectification and 137 through a certification.  There are approximately 13 
procedures which have not been concluded for various reasons (reservations, domestic approval 
procedures, etc.) or have not been pur sued further by the Member concerned.45   
IV. RENEGOTIATIONS UNDER GATT ARTICLE XXVIII 
21. Members are allowed to modify or withdraw concessions from their schedule through 
negotiation and agreement with other Memb ers.  Article XXVIII of the GATT 1994 entitled 
"Modification of Schedules" is the main provi sion dealing with the renegotiation of a tariff 
concession.46   
22. A 1957 note by the GATT Secretariat, con cerning arrangements for negotiations under 
Article XXVIII of the GATT 1994, set out the procedural guidelines that were used until 
November 1980 when the current guidelines for procedures were adopted.47  Although the early 
practice makes it difficult to determine the exact number of renegotiations that took place under the 
                                                      
41 GATT BISD  27S/25. 
42 WT/MIN(96)/16. 
43 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), G/MA/W/85 (3rd review) and G/MA/W/102 
(4th review). 
44 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 HS1996 Decision for 64 Members (see section II.C) and the HS2002 procedur es (see section II.D). 
45 The estimate takes account of procedures which we re subsequently replaced or overtaken by other 
procedures.  
46 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.   
47 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 
C/113/Corr.1,  GATT BISD  27S/26.  G/MA/W/23/Rev.8 
 Page 7 
 
 
  GATT 1947, the Secretariat's records show that at least 42 GATT Contracting Parties initiated 
roughly 300 renegotiations between 1951 and 1994.48   
23. 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 
1994.49  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.   
24. 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 
on-going. 
25. There have been 35 requests to enter into renegotiations under GA TT Article XXVIII since 
the establishment of the WTO in 1995, 5 of which ha ve been withdrawn, 12 ha ve been concluded and 
formally certified, and 4 have b een concluded, but have not been  certified for various reasons.  
Although the remaining 14 are in principle still on-going, it should be noted that two of them relate to 
schedules, which were withdrawn in the context of  an enlargement of the European Union (i.e. 
Hungary and Bulgaria).50 
26. Column 8 reflects the status r ecorded by the 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.  The term "unclear" has been used to identify 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 negotiations.  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.51   
                                                      
48 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.   
49 See footnote 46.  The status of GATT Article XXVIII negotiations up to June  1980 can be consulted 
in GATT doc. TAR/W/7 of 18  June 1980. 
50 The number of renegotiations is calculated based on all documents circulated under the G/SECRET

  V. CURRENT SITUATION OF SCHEDULES 
27. The situation of the Schedules of concessions has improved considerably over the last years 
thanks to a number of specific Decisions adopted by  Members, in particular with regard to the HS 
amendments.  However, Members still are at very different stages with respect to their schedules.  
Some Members currently applying the HS, and ev en HS2012, still have pre-UR concessions which 
are scheduled in a different nomenclature.  In these cases, and although the technical work undertaken 
in the context of HS1996 and HS2002 has minimized c onsiderably the problem, Members still need to 
transpose the relevant concessions into the HS.  Mo reover, the HS transpositio n work is still lagging 
behind with respect to nomenclature used in practice by Members, a situation that was exacerbated by the implementation of the fifth amendment to th e HS on 1 January 2012.  Finally, it would be 
advisable for Members to clarify the status of the renegotiations under Article XXVIII of the GATT 
that remain outstanding or that lack a final report,  and in particular for those Pre-UR cases labelled as 
"unclear".
