RESTRICTED GENERAL AGREEMENT ON L/2698/Rev.1 31 TARIFFS AND TRADE Limited Distribution

TARIFFINFORMATION AVAILABLE IN THE SECRETARIAT Revision

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 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 three 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 hereby requested to submit to the secretariat any information on changes in their tariffs as soon as possible after they are made. L/2698/Rev.1 Page 2
