영문 초록

The objective of this paper is to analyze tariff structure of the agricultural products for the countries which Korea considers as FTA partners. Countries or regions analyzed in this study are the USA, Canada, Mexico, MERCOSUR, Japan, China, Thailand and India. MERCOSUR is consisted of South America's four countries such as Brazil, Argentina, Uruguay and Paraguay. Products covered in this study are confined to agricultural products listed mostly on the Harmonized System(HS) from chapter 1 to 24 except chapter 3, and some other products in other chapters. Developing countries show higher tariff rates compared to developed countries, e.g. average tariff rates for India and Thailand are around 40% while Canada, Japan and the USA show average tariff rates around 4 to 13%. The share of low tariff rates of 10% or lower items in total number of items is 90% for Canada, 75% for the USA, 55% for Japan and 31% for MERCOSUR. On the other hand, the share of high tariff of 50 to 100% is 52% for Thailand and 15% for India. MERCOSUR and China have relatively low tariffs. Korea exports mainly vegetables and fruits and interested in effects of market opening for these products in FTA partners. Mexico, Thailand and India have high tariffs for both vegetables and fruits. China has high tariffs for fruits and low tariffs for vegetables. High tariff items of 100% or higher are 6 for Cnada, 43 for the USA, 151 for India and 55 for Mexico. MERCOSUR, China, Japan and Thailand do not have high tariff items. Therefor tariff elimination effects from FTA will be high in developing countries and Korea is requested to negotiate with developing countries. Korea is requested to negotiate about non-ad valorem tariff issues focusing on the developed countries such as the USA, Canada and Japan. This study does not convert non-ad valorem type tariffs into ad valorem and average tariff rates may different from the true value. Developed countries, in general, apply complicated forms of tariffs for many items. Thus average tariff rates will be much higher when we convert non-ad valorem tariffs into ad valorem.
