“…Elamin and Khaira (2003: 101) find that tariff escalation is most pronounced in 'commodity sectors such as meat, sugar, fruit, coffee, cocoa, and hides and skins, most of which are of export interest to many of the poor developing countries'. Mohan et al (2013) find that although developing countries are the primary producers of coffee, tea and cocoa, the majority of manufacturing and processing happens outside of the producing countries, thus depriving developing countries of value capture.…”

“…Second, the magnitude of product coverage in the beneficiary countries incentivizes preference utilisation especially for products that are classified as country's main exports Chaplin & Matthews, 2005;Manchin, 2006). Third, the extent of NTBs faced by developing countries specifically restricts the utilisation of preferential arrangements (Mohan, Khorana, & Choudhury, 2013).…”

The European Union (EU) generalised system of preferences (GSP Scheme) grants preferential treatment to 88 eligible countries. There are, however, concerns that the restrictive features (such as rules of origin, low preference margin and low coverage) of the existing scheme indicate gravitation towards commercial trade agenda to which efficiency imperatives appear subordinated. Whether these concerns are genuine is an empirical question whose answer largely determines whether, after Brexit, the United Kingdom continues with the existing specifics of the EU scheme or develops a more inclusive United Kingdom‐specific GSP framework. This study quantitatively examines the efficiency of the EU GSP as it relates to United Kingdom beneficiaries from 2014 to 2017. We draw on the descriptive efficiency estimation (the utilisation rate, potential coverage rate and the utility rate) using import data across 88 beneficiary countries and agricultural products of the Harmonised System Code Chapter 1 to 24. Asides the Rules of Origin that, generally, harm the uptake of GSP, low preference margin is found to cause low utilisation rates in a non‐linear manner. Essentially, a more robust option (such that allows “global Cumulation” or broader product coverage) could, substantially, lower the existing barriers to trade and upsurge the efficiency of the GSP scheme.

“…ÜNÜVAR and Dellal (2017) stated that the reduction in tariffs on sugar affects the decline of production and producer welfare in Turkey, but increase in sugar consumption and consumer welfare. Mohan et al (2013) suggest that escalation rates do not become a major barrier to the flow of agricultural processed products exports but the prevalence of non-tariff barriers (including domestic non-tariff barriers) also plays such important roles norms for size, quality, labeling, marketing, traceability (EU), conformity certification, rules of origin, customs, private standards and other. Joramo (2016) found an insignificant effect of tariff reductions on imports of agricultural products in Norway.…”

The purpose of this research is (1) to compare the market power of the rubber product industry (HS code 4011) between Australia and similar industries from the exporting country; (2) to analyze the impact of import tariff reduction on rubber product trade especially price, demand, export, import, export value and import value of rubber product for exporting country and importing country; and (3) to analyze the impact of weakening the demand of importing countries on the trade of rubber products (tire) especially price, demand, export, import, export value and import value for exporting country and importing country. The ability of exporters of Indonesian rubber products for mark-up prices is lower than similar industry capabilities from Thailand, China and Japan, but higher than similar industries in Australia. The decline in import tariffs has the effect of lowering import prices of rubber products in Australia, as well as export prices of rubber products from exporting countries to export markets in Australia. The decline in import tariffs for rubber products provides more benefits received by China, Thailand and Indonesia compared to benefits received by Japan and similar industries from Australia. The decline in tariffs on rubber products on the condition of weakening demand has an impact on the decline in import prices and consumer prices of these products. Export prices of rubber products from exporting countries tend to decrease if market demand weakens, and production of domestic rubber products in Australia also decreased.
