RESTRICTED GENERAL AGREEMENT ON ~ H^^ K n^ 7 novembre 1966 TARIFFS AND TRADE "'"^Limited Distribution TARIFF INFORMATION AVAILABLE IN THE SECRETARIAT -, The secretariat receives, in the course of ixs normal work, numerous requests for information relative to existing tariff rates for particular products in ; different countries > Lately the volume of inquiries has grown very considerably as a result of the information facilities put at the disposal of the developing countries in general through the International Trade Centre. The Kennedy Round has further made it necessary to have, at the disposal of the delegates, up-to- date data on tariff rates of participating countries. Unfortunately, the secretariat is not always kept informed by the contracting parties of changes in these matters. In relation to this, attention is drawn to the provision 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 thre2 sources : national editions of the customs tariffs, the publications of the International Customs Tariff Bureau in Brussels and the Deutches Handels-Archiv. Contracting parties are requested to submit to the secretariat, as soon_as possible, any information relating to their tariff which is not, at_present, available in the secretariat. -.
