WTO-UNCTAD-ITC Annual trade in services dataset

Index score per member for selected services sectors For methodology and acronyms see the WTO Staff Working Paper "Services Commitments in Preferential Trade Agreements: An Expanded Dataset".  The index score is brought within a scale of 0 to 100 for each sector, with 100 representing full commitments (i.e., without limitations) across all relevant sub-sectors of a sector grouping.  "GATS" reflects the index value for both GATS commitments and services offer in the ongoing Doha Development Agenda.  "PTA" reflects the index value for a Member's 'best' PTA commitments across all its PTAs, for each sub-sector.  The index value is for both mode 1 (cross-border trade) and mode 3 (commercial presence).  The score for EU commitments is for the EC-15.   

Index score per member on the basis of 'best' RTA commitments For methodology and acronyms see the WTO Staff Working Paper "Services Commitments in Preferential Trade Agreements: An Expanded Dataset".  The index score is brought within a scale of 0 to 100 for each sector, with 100 representing full commitments (i.e., without limitations) across all relevant sub-sectors.  "GATS" reflects the index value for both GATS commitments and services offer in the ongoing Doha Development Agenda.  "PTA" reflects the index value for a Member's 'best' PTA commitments across all its PTAs.  The score for EU commitments is for the EC-15.  For methodology and acronyms see the WTO Staff Working Paper "Services Commitments in Preferential Trade Agreements: An Expanded Dataset".  The index score is brought within a scale of 0 to 100 for each sector, with 100 representing full commitments (i.e., without limitations) across all relevant sub-sectors.  "GATS" reflects the index value for both GATS commitments and services offer in the ongoing Doha Development Agenda.  "PTA" reflects the index value for a Member's 'best' PTA commitments across all its PTAs.  The score for EU commitments is for the EC-15. 

Index score per agreement For methodology, see the WTO Staff Working Paper "Services Commitments in Preferential Trade Agreements: An Expanded Dataset".

"GATS" reflects the index value for both GATS commitments and services offer in the ongoing Doha Development Agenda.

Merchandise Trade values & Merchandise trade - indices and prices

Proportion of sub-sectors with GATS commitments in RTAs, per member For methodology and acronyms see the WTO Staff Working Paper "Services Commitments in Preferential Trade Agreements: An Expanded Dataset".  "GATS" stands here for GATS commitments and DDA services offers.  "PTA" here refers to a Member's 'best' PTA commitments across all its PTAs.  The percentage of sub-sectors for EU commitments refers to those of the EU-15. 

“World Tariff Profiles 2023” provides comprehensive information on tariffs imposed on imports by over 170 countries and customs territories. The report — jointly prepared with the International Trade Centre and the United Nations Conference on Trade and Development (UNCTAD) — also provides data on non-tariff measures, such as anti-dumping actions, countervailing duties and safeguard measures.   Note: The dataset has been taken from the "World Tariff country profile 2023" and considered the year as 2023 in the dataset.  

Note: For each annual publications, missing dates in source, we have considers as report date for not loosing any data for the country.  World Tariff Profiles, a joint publication of the WTO, International Trade Centre (ITC) and the United Nations Conference on Trade and Development (UNCTAD), provides comprehensive information on the tariffs and non-tariff measures imposed by over 170 countries and customs territories. Binding coverage: Share of HS six-digit subheadings containing at least one bound tariff line. Full binding coverage is indicated by 100 without further decimals. If some tariff lines are unbound but the result still rounds to 100 this is reflected by maintaining one decimal, i.e. 100.0. Simple average: Simple average of the ad valorem or AVE HS six-digit duty averages. Duty-free: Share of duty-free HS six-digit subheadings in the total number of subheadings in the product group. Partially duty-free subheadings are taken into account on a pro rata basis. Share of HS six-digit subheadings subject to non-ad valorem duties. When only part of the HS six-digit subheading is subject to non-ad valorem duties the percentage share of these tariff lines is used. Non-ad valorem duties: Share of HS six-digit subheadings subject to ad valorem duties or AVEs greater than 15 per cent. When only part of the HS six-digit subheading is covered by such duties, the calculation is done on a pro rata basis. Duties > 15 %: Share of HS six-digit subheadings subject to ad valorem duties or AVEs greater than three times the national average. When only part of the HS six-digit subheading is covered by such duties, the calculation is done on a pro rata basis. Duties > 3 * AVG: Share of HS six-digit bound subheadings not yet implemented in 2017. When only part of the HS six-digit subheading is covered by such duties the calculation is made on a pro rata basis. Maximum duty: Maximum tariff line level ad valorem duty or AVE. Number of distinct duty rates: Number of distinct duty rates. Non-ad valorem duties are always treated as distinct because AVE calculations would always yield distinct AVEs. For this indicator, however, duties not provided are not included in the count. Coefficient of variation: Standard deviation of tariff line duty rates divided by the simple tariff line level average of all duty rates. Includes only ad valorem duties or AVEs. Number of MFN applied tariff lines: Total number of MFN applied tariff lines.
