Weighted average tariffs faced by developing countries, least developed countries and small island developing States |
Definition |
Average import tariffs faced by products exported from developing countries and least developed countries. Tariffs are customs duties on merchandise imports, levied either on an ad valorem basis (percentage of value) or on a specific basis (e.g. $7 per 100 kg). Tariffs can be used to create a price advantage for similar locally-produced goods and for raising government revenues |
