Tariff rate, most favored nation, weighted mean, primary products (%)

This indicator represents the average tariff rate applied to primary products by most favored nations (MFN), calculated as a weighted mean that accounts for the import shares of specific products associated with each trading partner. Utilizing the Harmonized System classified data at the six- or eight-digit levels, the indicator integrates detailed tariff line information matched with Standard International Trade Classification (SITC) revision 3 codes. This ensures a comprehensive understanding of commodity categories and their respective import weights, which are derived from the United Nations Statistics Division's Commodity Trade (Comtrade) database. Primary products encompass a variety of essential commodities, specifically those classified under SITC sections 0-4 and division 68, including nonferrous metals, providing critical insights into global trade dynamics and the economic significance of these goods.
