SUMMARY

The study reviews the tariff situation in major developed countries once all the tariff changes and quota phase-outs agreed in the Uruguay Round are fully implemented. It analyses the tariff situation for developing countries' exports and focuses on two major aspects: tariff peaks and tariff escalation. The study aims at improving the understanding of the dimension of the post-Uruguay Round tariff problem and at identifying the main sectors where exports of developing countries face high tariffs in their major markets. It illustrates, giving the example of some major export products of developing countries, the patterns of tariff escalation that will be encountered in the post-Uruguay Round situation. The study contains tables on the distribution of tariff peaks by product groups and markets. The results of the study are intended to contribute to preparations by developing countries and other countries for trade negotiations
