It uses a single mathematical formula to produce (1) a narrow range of final tariff rates from a wide set of initial tariffs and (2) a maximum final rate, no matter how high the original tariff was. Usually the required cuts are then divided into equal annual steps. The formula was proposed by Switzerland in the 1973–79 Tokyo Round negotiations. A key feature is a number, which is negotiated and plugged into the formula. It is known as a "coefficient" ("A" in the formula below). This also determines the maximum final tariff rate. The formula: Z = AX/(A+X) where: X = initial tariff rate A = coefficient and maximum final tariff rate Z = resulting lower tariff rate (end of period) (from Xxxxxx Xxxxx: "Dictionary of Trade Policy Terms", Centre for International Economic Studies, University of Adelaide ) T Tariff binding - Commitment not to increase a rate of duty beyond an agreed level. Once a rate of duty is bound, it may not be raised without compensating the affected parties. Tariff escalation - Higher import duties on semi-processed products than on raw materials, and higher still on finished products. This practice protects domestic processing industries and discourages the development of processing activity in the countries where raw materials originate. Tariff peaks - Relatively high tariffs, usually on "sensitive" products, amidst generally low tariff levels. For industrialised countries, tariffs of 15 % and above are generally recognised as "tariff peaks".
