APEC Trade Repository

For members whose clients may trade within APEC community, the APEC Trade Repository (APECTR) tool is an invaluable aid as to sourcing information in relation to trade related requirements. The repository is APEC’s online source of members’ trade and tariff information. Information is available on the following:

• MFN tariff rates
• preferential tariff rates
• rules of origin (ROO) on existing RTAs/FTAs
• best practices in trade facilitation
• domestic trade and customs laws and regulations
• procedures and documentary requirements for imports and exports
• authorized economic operator (AEOs) and information on mutual recognition arrangements (MRAs)
• list of AEOs (as available)

For technical regulations, standards, sanitary and phyto-sanitary measures, the WTO Information Management System (IMS) portals can also be accessed.

APECTR is updated continuously and new information is added based on availability.
