of Technical TermsStandstillStandstill - one of the nine principles in achieving trade and investment liberalization and facilitation which was stated in the Osaka Action Plan (1995) of APEC. Based on this principle, each APEC member economy agrees not to take any measure that might increase protection levels, thus ensuring the sound and effective process of trade and investment liberalization and facilitation.

Stockholm ConventionA global treaty to protect the human health and environment from chemicals that remain intact in the environment for long period of time.

Sustainable GrowthA term much used by environmentalists, meaning economic growth that can continue in the long term without non-renewable resources being used up or pollution becoming intolerable. Mainstream economists use the term, too, to describe a rate of growth that an economy can sustain indefinitely without causing a rise in inflation.

Swiss FormulaA ‘non-linear formula’ which reduces high tariffs, tariff peaks and tariff escalations. Higher tariffs will be subject to greater reductions compared to lower tariffs. A smaller coefficient would result in a deeper cut compared to a larger coefficient.

Swiss Formula :C : Coefficient to determine tariff reductions in each country;t0 : The existing tariff rate for a particular country; andt1 : The bound tariff rate for that country.

Tariff / DutyCustoms duties on merchandise imports. Levied either on an ad valorem basis (percentage of value) or on a specific basis (e.g. $7 per 100 kgs.). Tariffs give price advantage to similar locally-produced goods and raise revenues for the government.

Tariff CappingThe maximum duty allowed after applying the formula for tariff reduction.

Tariff EscalationLow tariffs for raw or unfinished materials, somewhat higher for semi-finished products and highest for finished products. Generally adopted by industrialized countries to restrict import of finished goods from developing countries.

Tariff LineDescription of a single product in a national tariff schedule, together with the applicable tariff/duty rate.

Tariff PeaksRelatively high tariffs, usually on “sensitive” products, amidst generally low tariff levels. For developed countries, tariffs of 15% and above are generally recognised as “tariff peaks”.

Tariff SimplificationThe conversion of non-ad valorem duties into simple ad-valorem duties.
