Abstract

The South Asian region comprising of three developing countries and two LDCs is an important illustration of the potential downsides of an unbalanced NAMA outcome.3 All of these countries except Sri Lanka to some extent, maintain high industrial tariff rates. The tariff profiles of these countries are characterised by low binding coverage and high international peaks (See Table 1). Countries such as India have about 60.1 percent of tariff lines that are more than 15 percent (International Peaks). Hence, the whole of South Asia has a high industrial tariff profile.
