Average EU tariffs on agricultural imports under MFN 2019

As a member of the World Trade Organisation (WTO), the European Union applies relatively high tariff rates on agricultural imports, if there is no existing trade deal with the partner it is trading with. In such cases, WTO's Most Favored Nation (MFN) is used when determining the rate of tariffs on goods. In 2019, the simple average tariff rate for dairy products, for example, was 32.3 percent. Import rate imposed on cotton was at zero.

Supplementary notes

Fish and fishery products are classified as "non-agricultural products."
World Trade Organization defines the Most-Favoured-Nation regime as follows: "Under the WTO agreements, countries cannot normally discriminate between their trading partners. Grant someone a special favour (such as a lower customs duty rate for one of their products) and you have to do the same for all other WTO members."
