Please note that                        these are the official rates legally                        committed to in the WTO. Tariffs cannot                        be raised above these unless a negotiated                        waiver is arranged. However, tariff rates                        can be, and often are, lower than these                        "Bound Rates." These are known                        as "Applied Tariff Rates" and                        represent the duty that is actually                        applied to imported products. These rates                        can change frequently, depending upon the                        supply, demand, and political situation                        in each country. Some developing                        countries also apply a "Ceiling                        Binding," a single tariff rate for                        all agricultural products. Applied rates                        less than the ceiling binding may exist                        for specific items of interest to that                        country. 

Currently,                        the WTO has no mechanism requiring the                        notification of applied tariff rates. The                        members of Asia Pacific Economic                        Cooperation (APEC), including the United                        States, have agreed to maintain updated                        schedules of applied tariffs on the World                        Wide Web. The other members are:                        Australia, Brunei, Canada, Chile, China,                        Hong Kong, Indonesia, Japan, South Korea,                        Malaysia, Mexico, New Zealand, Papua-New                        Guinea, Philippines, Singapore, Chinese                        Taipei (Taiwan), and Thailand. The site                        can be found at www.apectariff.org .

It is recommended                        that firms seek clarification as to the                        tariff code, description, and applied                        tariff rate for their product from the                        customs officials in the country of                        destination. Importing agents and other                        business contacts in the foreign country                        can also be useful in determining these                        critical pieces of information.
