GOODS SCHEDULES: CURRENT SITUATION OF SCHEDULES
Current Situation of Schedules of WTO Members
It was agreed at the Market Access Committee meeting of 22 June 1999 that Annex II of document G/MA/63 setting out the situation of schedules of WTO Members, would be updated periodically.(1) In this connection, please find attached an update of the status of Members' schedules incorporating information up to 10 May 2019. The introductory text contained in Annex II of the original document G/MA/63 has been updated to take into account developments since the last revision.

1. INTRODUCTION
1.1 Each WTO Member has a Schedule of concessions(2), sometimes referred to as a "Goods Schedule", which is either annexed to the Marrakesh Protocol to the GATT 1994 or to a Protocol of Accession(3). The Uruguay Round Schedules of some Members incorporate by reference concessions pre-dating the Uruguay Round or indicated that the new concessions are "without prejudice" to their GATT Schedule and, as a result, many of these concessions remain valid under the WTO.(4) Although it is frequent to refer to "the" Schedule of a Member, tariff and other concessions can be contained in several legal instruments that, together, set out that Member's obligations.
1.2 The attached table reflecting the current situation of schedules of WTO Members has been prepared for information purposes in order to assist, inter alia, the project team in the Secretariat updating the CTS files into HS1996(5), HS2002(6), HS2007(7), HS2012(8) and HS2017(9)
1.3 The table consists of the following columns:
Column 1: Indicates the item number in the table.
Column 2: Lists the WTO Members in alphabetical order, in accordance with document WT/INF/43/Rev.22. It also indicates whether or not the Member is a party to the Harmonized System Convention.
Column 3: Indicates the Roman numeral assigned to the Member's schedule. Its equivalent Arabic numeral is included in parenthesis for ease of reference.
Column 4: Indicates the situation of the Pre-Uruguay Round schedule, if any.
Column 5: Indicates whether the schedule is annexed to the "Marrakesh Protocol to the GATT 1994" (MP) or to a Protocol of Accession (PA. The date of accession and references to the relevant documentation is included for the latter.
Column 6: Provides information on the transposition of Uruguay Round schedules into the Harmonized System and its subsequent amendments. In the case of Members having acceded after 1 January 1995, it also indicates the tariff nomenclature used in the Schedule annexed to its protocol of accession.
Column 7: Provides information on the rectifications/modifications undertaken by the Member, if any.
Column 8: Provides information on renegotiations under Article XXVIII of the GATT 1994 initiated by the Member, if any. For additional information on these procedures, please refer to G/MA/W/123 and revisions.
2. THE HARMONIZED SYSTEM AND ITS AMENDMENTS
2.1 Introduction of the Harmonized System
2.1 Following the entry into force of the Harmonized System (HS)(10) on 1 January 1988 (HS88), the pre-UR schedules of those GATT Contracting Parties that were also contracting parties to the HS Convention were required to be transposed into the HS nomenclature(11)(12)(13) and some Members undertook to renegotiate their schedules in connection with the implementation of the HS. The Geneva (1994) Protocol(14) was one of these tariff protocols and the timing of its conclusion coincided with the preparation of Members' Uruguay Round Schedules, but it did not enter into force. On 10 November 2005, the Council for Trade in Goods adopted special procedures to certify these Schedules(15). The status of pre-UR schedules is set out in column 4 of the table. The term "None" is used for those Members which did not have a GATT Schedule of concessions. It should, however, be noted that these Members did submit a Schedule either during the Uruguay Round or at the time of their accession to the WTO.
2.2 The Harmonized System Committee of the World Customs Organization (WCO) undertakes a periodic review of the HS nomenclature to take account of changes in technology and patterns in international trade, and recommends amendments to it. The first set of such modifications came into force on 1 January 1992 (HS92. A second, more substantial, set of amendments came into force on 1 January 1996 (HS96), a third one on 1 January 2002 (HS2002), a fourth one on 1 January 2007 (HS2007), and a fifth one on 1 January 2012 (HS2012).(16) A sixth set of amendments entered into force on 1 January 2017 (HS2017). Some necessary corrections and complementary amendments, which were inadvertently omitted, were accepted pursuant to the Recommendation of 11 June 2015 of the Customs Cooperation Council and entered into force on 1 January 2018. However, HS contracting parties were encouraged to implement them both on 1 January 2017.
2.2 First Amendments to the HS (HS92)
2.3. With a view to keeping the authentic texts of GATT schedules up to date and in conformity with the national customs tariff, in 1991 the Committee on Tariff Concessions adopted simplified procedures to implement the HS92 and any future changes relating to the HS.(17) Eleven GATT Contracting Parties followed these procedures and submitted the required documentation, with only one of them still pending.(18)
2.3 Second Amendments to the HS (HS96)
2.4. Members made use of the 1991 procedures to introduce modifications to the schedules resulting from the introduction of HS96. A total of 49 Members submitted the required documentation, out of which: 29 were full loose-leaf schedules(19), 19 reflected only the HS96 changes, and one included information on a preliminary basis.(20) The General Council adopted a "collective waiver", subject to certain conditions, suspending the application of Article II of the GATT for 33 Members.(21) This initial waiver was renewed on ten occasions and covered a varying number of Members.(22) The General Council noted at its last renewal that, although it would be the last time that an extension of the HS96 waiver would be granted collectively, Members were not precluded from requesting the suspension of GATT Article II on an individual basis.(23) Since then, the General Council has adopted 48 individual waiver requests from 13 Members.(24)
2.5. Noting that 64 developing Members had not followed the 1991 procedures to introduce the modifications resulting from the introduction of HS96, the General Council adopted a new set of ad hoc procedures.(25) It instructed the Secretariat to conduct the technical work for the transposition of the Schedules, using the Consolidated Tariff Schedule database (CTS) as a working tool. The files were subject to multilateral review in dedicated sessions of the Committee on Market Access. The transposition of all the 64 Members concerned has been concluded and certified.(26)
2.4 Third Amendment to the HS (HS2002)
2.6. On 18 July 2001, the General Council established a new set of procedures for the introduction of HS2002 changes into the schedules of concessions.(27) Although HS2002 had been implemented by most WTO Members, only 35 of them submitted the documentation required by these procedures.(28) With a view to further facilitating and simplifying the introduction of HS2002 changes in the schedules of concessions of all Members, on 15 February 2005, the General Council adopted a set of amendments to the procedures in which the Consolidated Tariff Schedule (CTS) database was to be used as a working tool. The Secretariat was instructed to transpose the schedules of all developing countries.(29)
2.7. Although the Secretariat concluded the technical work on most Schedules, procedures remained outstanding for a high number of files, in spite of the absence of comments by other Members and due to the lack of approval or comments by the Member concerned.(30) With a view to redressing this situation, on 14 December 2010, the General Council adopted a new decision amending the procedures.(31) As a result, modifications to 116 schedules have been approved at the multilateral reviews and circulated pursuant to the 1980 procedures for rectification and modification of schedules(32). Two of the procedures remain ongoing.
2.8. The General Council has adopted seventeen "collective waivers" and one individual waiver suspending the application of Article II of the GATT(33) on an annual basis until 31 December 2019. The latest waiver applies to one Member.(34) The General Council established, in addition, a set of procedures and conditions that would need to be followed by any other Member wishing to be covered by the waiver.(35)
2.5 Fourth Amendment to the HS (HS2007)
2.9. On 15 December 2006, the General Council adopted procedures for the introduction of HS2007 changes into schedules of concessions.(36) On 30 November 2011, Members adopted a decision amending the transposition procedures leading to the certification of HS2007 changes.(37) Under the revised procedures, developed country Members, and developing countries that made a notification by 31 December 2011, shall prepare their own transposition while the Secretariat shall transpose the schedules of all remaining Members.
2.10. As a result of the procedures for the introduction of HS2007 changes into schedules of concessions, 110 schedules have been approved in multilateral review and circulated pursuant to the 1980 procedures for rectification and modification of schedules and were certified.(38)
2.11. The General Council has also adopted thirteen "collective waivers" suspending the application of Article II of the GATT on an annual basis until 31 December 2019.(39) The waivers also provide that any other Member could be included therein upon request. There are currently eight Members covered by the collective waiver.(40)
2.6. Fifth Amendments to the HS (HS2012)
2.12. On 30 November 2011, the General Council adopted procedures for the introduction and certification of HS2012 changes into schedules of concessions.(41) Under this decision, "developed country Members, and developing countries that made a notification by 31 December 2011, shall prepare their own transposition and the Secretariat shall transpose the schedules of all remaining Members".
2.13. As a result of the procedures for the introduction of HS2012 changes into schedules of concessions, more than 90 schedules have been approved in multilateral review and certified.(42)
2.14. The General Council has adopted eight "collective waivers" suspending the application of Article II of the GATT on an annual basis until 31 December 2019.(43) The waiver also provides that any other Member could be included therein upon request. There are currently 27 Members covered by the latest waiver.(44)
2.7. Sixth and Seventh Amendments to the HS (HS2017)
2.15. On 7 December 2016, the General Council adopted procedures for the introduction and certification of HS2017 changes into schedules of concessions.(45) Under this decision, "Members that made a notification by 31 December 2016 shall prepare their own transposition and the Secretariat shall transpose the schedules of all remaining Members". The Secretariat has not begun yet the technical work for this transposition.
2.16. The General Council has adopted three "collective waivers" suspending the application of Article II of the GATT until 31 December 2019.(46) The waiver also provides that any other Member could be included therein upon request, and two Members have made use of this possibility. There are currently 28 Members (counting the European Union as one) covered by the waiver and its addenda.(47)
2.8 Status of HS Transpositions
2.17. The status of HS92 changes and the introduction of the HS are included in Column 4 of the table as it relates to pre-UR schedules. Column 6 reflects the situation of HS96, HS2002, HS2007, HS2012 and HS2017 changes. This column also indicates, for those transposition procedures which remain pending, whether or not the Member is currently under a waiver suspending the application of Article II of the GATT.
3. RECTIFICATIONS/MODIFICATIONS OF SCHEDULES
3.1. Since the WTO Agreement entered into force, the overwhelming majority of the rectifications and modifications of Schedules have been given legal effect through a Decision by the GATT 1947 Council entitled "Procedures for Modification and Rectification of Schedules of Tariff Concessions", which was adopted on 26 March 1980 (the "1980 Procedures").(48) The preamble of these procedures recognizes the importance of keeping the authentic texts of Schedules up to date and of ensuring that they are aligned with the texts of corresponding items in national customs tariffs.
3.2. Modifications made pursuant to the 1980 Procedures have been undertaken by Members for a wide range of issues, including, inter alia: (i) rectifications of a technical nature that do not affect the scope of the concessions; (ii) concessions made in the context of the Ministerial Declaration on Trade in Information Technology Products (ITA)(49); (iii) revisions and additions to the product coverage of the Pharmaceutical Understanding (Pharma)(50); (iv) bilateral sectorial negotiations (e.g. distilled spirits); (v) modifications pursuant to Annex 5 of the Agreement on Agriculture; (vi) concessions made in the context of the Declaration on the Expansion of Trade in Information Technology Products (ITA Expansion)(51); (vii) autonomous improvements in concessions, and (viii) modifications to Part IV of Schedules, including the Nairobi Decision on the elimination of export subsidies (the Nairobi Decision). Column 7 reflects the situation concerning the rectifications and modifications of schedules. Those pertaining to the ITA, ITA expansion, Pharma, Other Duties and Charges (ODCs), Annex 5 of the Agreement on Agriculture, the Nairobi Decision, and the results of bilateral negotiations on distilled spirits have been expressly identified. All others have been labelled as "other".
3.3. Leaving aside the amendments relating to HS transpositions, approximately 226 proposals for modifications/rectifications of schedules have been put forward for the consideration of Members since the establishment of the WTO(52), 23 of which have been formally concluded by means of a Procès-Verbal of rectification and 193 through a certification under the 1980 Procedures. There are approximately 28 procedures which have not been concluded for various reasons, including 8 files currently within the three-month period; 2 procedures that were withdrawn, 4 that are awaiting the completion of domestic procedures; and 14 with outstanding reservations.(53)
4. RENEGOTIATIONS UNDER GATT ARTICLE XXVIII
4.1. Members are allowed to modify or withdraw concessions from their schedule through negotiation and agreement with other Members. Article XXVIII of the GATT 1994 entitled "Modification of Schedules" is the main provision dealing with the renegotiation of a tariff concession.(54)
4.2. A note by the GATT Secretariat from 1957, concerning arrangements for negotiations under Article XXVIII of the GATT 1994, set out the procedural guidelines that were used until November 1980 when the current guidelines for procedures were adopted.(55) Although the early practice makes it difficult to determine the exact number of renegotiations that took place under the GATT 1947, the Secretariat's records show that at least 42 GATT Contracting Parties initiated roughly 300 renegotiations between 1951 and 1994.(56)
4.3. The 1980 Guidelines for Procedures for negotiations under Article XXVIII provide that a Member undertaking such negotiations should submit to the Secretariat: (i) a report and a joint letter upon completion of each bilateral negotiation and (ii) a final report upon completion of all its bilateral negotiations. In practice, however, only 19 final reports were received by the Secretariat for the 79 renegotiations initiated between 1981 and 1994.(57) The status recorded by the Secretariat for renegotiations lacking a final report is diverse. While in a few cases the Contracting Parties withdrew the invocation of Article XXVIII, in others they only submitted partial information regarding the bilateral agreements reached. No further information has been received by the Secretariat after the initiation of many of these renegotiations and only a few of them were formally carried-over into the WTO.
4.4. It remains unclear for the majority of these Pre-UR renegotiations whether they were: (i) concluded with the relevant Contracting Parties and their results incorporated into the Schedule annexed to the Marrakesh Protocol to the GATT 1994 (MP) during the Uruguay Round, (ii) concluded, but its results overridden by the Schedule annexed to the MP, (iii) concluded with all the relevant Contracting Parties, but never reported or included in a schedule, or (iv) are still ongoing.
4.5. There have been 48 Article XXVIII procedures that have been either initiated since the WTO Agreement entered into force on 1 January 1995, or that were initiated under the GATT 1947 and concluded under the WTO. Of these: 23 have been concluded and certified through the 1980 Procedures, six have been concluded, but have not been certified for various reasons, five have been withdrawn, and three procedures relate to schedules that were withdrawn in the context of the enlargement of the European Union(58). There is also one request to enter into negotiations under Article XXVIII:4 that has not been approved(59)(60) For more detailed information, see document G/MA/W/123/Rev.5.
4.6. Column 8 reflects the status recorded by the Secretariat for all renegotiations invoked from 1 January 1981 when the current procedures started being implemented. The table also includes renegotiations related to Article XXIV:6 of the GATT. The term "unclear" has been used to identify those GATT renegotiations initiated between 1981 and 1994 in which there is no final report or any other formal document indicating the conclusion of such negotiations. It should finally be noted that 19 Article XXVIII renegotiations invoked before the end of the UR by the EEC-9 and some of the EC鈥?5 member States are not reflected therein.(61)
5. CURRENT SITUATION OF SCHEDULES
5.1. The situation of the Schedules of concessions has improved considerably over the last years thanks to a number of Decisions adopted by Members, and in particular those relating to HS amendments. However, Members are still at very different stages with respect to their schedules. Some Members currently applying HS2017 still have pre-UR concessions scheduled in a different nomenclature. In these cases, and although the technical work undertaken in the context of HS1996, HS2002, HS2007 and HS2012 has considerably minimized the problem over time, Members still need to transpose the relevant concessions into the HS. Moreover, the HS transposition work at the WTO continues to lag behind with respect to the nomenclature used in practice by Members, which may complicate the comparison of applied and bound rates. Finally, it would be advisable for Members to clarify the status of the renegotiations under Article XXVIII of the GATT that remain outstanding or that lack a final report, and in particular for those Pre-UR cases labelled as "unclear".

- A contracting party to the International Convention on the Harmonized Commodity Description and Coding System (HS Convention).
- Not a contracting party to the HS Convention, but applies the HS nomenclature.
- Grenada, Papua New Guinea, Qatar, St. Kitts & Nevis, and the United Arab Emirates acceded to the WTO after 1 January 1995 under special procedures established by the General Council. See WT/L/30, WT/L/94, WT/L/95, WT/L/96, WT/L/97, WT/L/98, WT/L/99, WT/L/100, WT/L/101, WT/L/128, and WT/L/129..

- Paragraph 1 of the Marrakesh Protocol to the GATT 1994 provides: "The schedule annexed to this Protocol relating to a Member shall become a Schedule to GATT 1994 relating to that Member on the day on which the WTO Agreement enters into force for that Member." This usage followed the convention in earlier GATT 1947 tariff protocols under which a "schedule" of proposed concessions became a legally-binding "Schedule" upon its entry into force. See also Article XI of the WTO Agreement. back to text
- Certain commitments are not reflected in the Schedules. For example, supporting Tables relating to commitments on agricultural products (AGST Supporting Tables) and specifically identified in Part IV of the Schedules annexed to the Marrakesh Protocol can be found in WTO document series G/AG/AGST. Supporting Tables of acceded Members are now circulated in the WT/ACC or WT/ACC/SPEC document series.

- The Harmonized System (HS) nomenclature, which was developed in the World Customs Organization (formerly the Customs Cooperation Council), entered into force on 1 January 1988 through a Convention. As of 10 May 2019, there are 110 WTO Members (counting the EU as one), which are contracting parties to the HS Convention. The remaining 26 WTO Members apply the HS in spite of not being contracting parties to it. back to text
- Article 3 of the HS Convention obliges HS contracting parties to ensure that their customs tariff and statistical nomenclatures are in conformity with the Harmonized System. It is to be noted that those GATT Contracting Parties that were not contracting parties to the HS, but nevertheless applied the HS in their national customs tariff, also undertook this exercise in order to keep the authentic texts of their schedules up to date and in conformity with their national customs tariff. back to text

- In compliance with instructions given by the Contracting Parties (L/641, GATT BISD 6S/158) the Executive Secretary issued a note concerning the arrangements for negotiations under GATT Article XXVIII on 31 May 1957 (GATT doc. L/635. A revised version of the procedural guidelines was prepared in 1978 (GATT doc. L/4651) which served as the basis for the technical discussions at the Committee on Tariff Concessions, which were finally adopted as guidelines on 10 November 1980. See GATT doc. C/113 and C/113/Corr.1,GATT BISD 27S/26. back to text
- Due to their provisional nature, tariff commitments made in the 1947 Geneva negotiations had an initial validity of three years. Consequently, the original drafting of GATT Article XXVIII contained no provision for the modification or withdrawal of these commitments before 1 January 1951. Contracting Parties initially extended the validity of these Schedules through "Declarations on the Continued Application of Schedules". During the Torquay Tariff Conference of 1950, the negotiations for new concessions took place in parallel with some renegotiations. The Review Session of the GATT that took place subsequently disposed of the need to extend the validity of the Schedules periodically. It also proposed amendments to several Articles of the GATT (including Article XXVIII) and proposed the incorporation of a new Article XXVIII bis entitled "Tariff negotiations". These amendments were formally adopted through the Protocol Amending the Preamble and Parts II and III of the General Agreement of 10 March 1955, which entered into force on 7 October 1957. back to text
