NOTIFICATION BYKOREA OFTHE SECOND STAGE
INTEGRATION PROGRAMME
FortheSecond Stage Integration Programme, thelistprovided byKorea contains 12HS6-digit
linesinchapters 30to49and64to96.Wecansubclassify 8ofthe12linesby10-digit linesunder
thedomestic tariff system. Fourofthese 8lines(420212, 420222, 420232, 420292) donotinclude
non-covering products, anddetailed subclassification of3ofthe8lines(392190, 640610, 961210)
doesnotcorrespond totheprecise product description intheAnnex totheATC. Therefore, justone
HS6-digit line(640699) doesnotexclude products thatwerenotcovered bytheATC. Ifweexclude
non-covering items from HS640699, thepercentage calculated forthesecond stage would be
16.71 percent. However, thetotalpercentage forthefirstandsecond stages would stillbehigher than
33percent (33.06 percent, firststage was16.35 percent). Ifwecalculate thepercentage, based on
modified import volume of1990, which excludes non-covering items, thefirst, second andtotal
percentages become 16.41 percent, 16.77 percent and33.18 percent, respectively.
