...order to keep track of the products and determine the correct volume of imports and exports. Every product is issued a code which is labeled on the product and checked by customs officials. Since the system is streamlined between countries, it makes it easier for both parties to check the products and keep records. Essentially, the export country's paperwork is generally identical to the import country. Member nations of the World Customs Organization must maintain a tariff schedule with names and codes identical to the other nations. The schedule can vary slightly between countries but has to follow certain parameters. HS schedules are divided among 21 distinct sections with 96 chapters, each defining the harmonized tariffs. It takes the most basic product, such as a wood-based good, and then breaks it down to other types of goods. For example, a board will be listed as one item, but a bed post made from that board will be further defined and coded. By using a harmonized tariff system, international trade is heavily streamlined and made more secure. In addition to making the process easier for both parties, as well as traders, it also helps...

Basic Analysis of Tariff

...goods and not at the big picture of overall trading patterns. This is because in order to focus in on a few questions we have to make tons of simplifying assumptions. One of those assumptions is the economist’s favorite ceteris paribus (“other things being equal”), which is the convenient assumption that we can look at changes in one market while assuming that everything else in our economy is not changing. (Note for example that in Ricardian trade theory we do assume that one market affects another, when productive factors from one industry move into another industry.) We also bring over a lot of other simplifying assumptions from neoclassical micro, such as the assumption of perfect competition in domestic industry. So beware: these are starkly oversimplified models that are useful because they help us think about issues. But be careful about naively using the results from a model as a guide to policy. The core intuition of this theory, which is similar to that of the broader trade theory we examined earlier, is that restrictions on trade move the global economy farther away from an ideal international general equilibrium in which everyone buys or sells at the same set of prices. In neoclassical theory, this one global set of prices would guide efficient use of resources. A Tariff in a Small Country A tariff is a...

...and Thailand brought the European communities before the WTO based on accusations of unfair treatment in trade. Background. -From 1996-2002 BT exported frozen chicken cuts treated with salt to EC -EEC was bound to its tariff schedule to not apply a duty ate exceeding 15.4% to “meat and edible meat offal, salted, in brine, dried or smoked.”-under tariff item. -In 2002, new regulations emerged in the EC citing a new classification of imported meats under tariff item 02.10. -Based on the new rules, the bound rate in tariff item 02.10 would apply only where salt had been added to meat for the purpose of long-term preservation. -Due to these new rules, those same chicken cuts treated with salt exported by BT would fall under a different tariff item 02.07, “fresh, chilled or frozen poultry.” which has a higher bound rate than the initial classification item 02.10 0f 102.4 euros per kilogram i.e. an ad valorem rate pf between 40 and 60 %. -Hence, European Custom Authorities were obliged to apply the higher tariff rate since the Frozen chicken cuts treated with salt were not salted for the purpose for long-term preservation. Conflict -According to BT the EC violated Article II 1a and II 1b of the GATT 1994 of the WTO which forbids the EC to impose charges and duties beyond 15.4% ad valorem to their exports in accordance with its previously determined bound tariff schedule to the product in question-the frozen chicken cuts treated with salt under tariff item 02.10-regardless...
