'TARIFF rJTORMATION ATiJLABLE IN THE SECRETARIAT'
The secretariat receives, in the course of its normal work, numerous requests for information on existing tariff -rates for particular products in different countries.
Unfortunately, the secretariat is not always kept informed by contracting parties of changes in their tariffs. In relation to this, attention is drawn to the provisions of Article X of the General Agreement. „:.
Annexed to this paper is a list of tariffs and their latest modifications available in the secretariat. The information, as noted there, is drawn mainly from three sources : national editions of the customs tariffs, the publications of the International Customs Tariff Bureau in Brussels and the Deutsches Handels- Archiv.
Contracting parties are hereby invited to submit as soon as possible to the secretariat information on changes in their tariffs. L/3363 Page 2 ANNEX
