WITS – User Manual on Data Retrieval – Working with Protection Data
Defining a Query
You would define your query by selecting from all dimensions. The specification of
the variables is sequential. Once Tariff Schedules or Tariff Line Imports is selected in
the Select Data Type list, WITS will automatically fill in Reporters that have the
variable. That is Select Data Type must be specified before Reporter which, in turn,
defines the available years to be selected from the Year dimension.
First, make sure Tariff Schedules is selected in Select Data Type since this topic
discusses tariff information retrieval.
Next, select in Reporter the country for which you want to retrieve tariff schedules.
Note that only WTO country members are listed.
Next, select the Year for the tariff schedules to be retrieved.
Next, select a Duty Code (tariff schedule). The list of available duty codes depends
on the selected reporter and year. You can select either one duty code at a time or
all by selecting <AllDutyCodes>. Note that selecting <AllDutyCodes>may result in a
very large dataset which may take time to be displayed.
Finally, click on View Data to retrieve results.
Understanding and Exporting Output Data
Clicking on View Data sends the query to the WITS server and displays results in the
table as demonstrated below.
