TARIFF SUFFIX

A code used in the IDB to extend the tariff line number in order to record two or more duties at different levels. The tariff suffix is used in cases where the customs tariff is more detailed than the corresponding import statistics, i.e. statistics are collected in less detail than the corresponding duties are recorded in the customs tariff. For these cases, the individual duties are recorded under tariff sub-items (tariff suffix "01" - "99") and the average of the duties under the sub-items could be recorded under the principal item (tariff suffix "00"). The tariff suffix is also used to record partially bound MFN duties.
