Switzerland - Tariff rate

Tariff rate, applied, simple mean, manufactured products (%)

Tariff rate, applied, simple mean, manufactured products (%) in Switzerland was 0.89 as of 2020. Its highest value over the past 30 years was 6.59 in 1995, while its lowest value was 0.74 in 2019.

Definition: Simple mean applied tariff is the unweighted average of effectively applied rates for all products subject to tariffs calculated for all traded goods. Data are classified using the Harmonized System of trade at the six- or eight-digit level. Tariff line data were matched to Standard International Trade Classification (SITC) revision 3 codes to define commodity groups. Effectively applied tariff rates at the six- and eight-digit product level are averaged for products in each commodity group. When the effectively applied rate is unavailable, the most favored nation rate is used instead. To the extent possible, specific rates have been converted to their ad valorem equivalent rates and have been included in the calculation of simple mean tariffs. Manufactured products are commodities classified in SITC revision 3 sections 5-8 excluding division 68.
