INDICATOR METADATA
Definition: Tariff rate quotas occur when quantities inside a quota are charged lower import duty rates, than those outside (which can be high). The application AGIMS (http://agims.wto.org) is the source of the three types of NTM in the field of agriculture: Special Safeguard (SSG), tariff-rate quotas (TRQ) and Export Subsidies (XS). These notifications are annual and cover the calendar year. Notification is due along the year following its application, but some members make late notifications. Therefore, the last period should be treated carefully, as even for periods of three or four yeas after the is not possible to distinguish the delay from the no-notification.
