Acknowledgements

Acknowledgements are due to all the data providers, mostly national administrations or WTO delegations who have made this information available including through notifications presented in Technical Annex A. In a number of cases, data has been made available on national websites or through regional organizations. Given the vast amount of statistical data and metadata that needed to be processed, and because this information is not available in one single organization, this publication was only possible as a joint effort of the WTO, ITC, and UNCTAD. Each of the three organizations has a proven track record and comparative strengths in the field of tariff analysis.
