The WTO published on 7 July the 2025 edition of World Tariff Profiles, which provides comprehensive data on the tariffs and non-tariff measures imposed by over 170 economies. It is a joint publication of the WTO, the International Trade Centre (ITC) and UN Trade and Development (UNCTAD).

The publication provides summary tables listing the average “bound” (maximum) tariffs and applied tariffs for each economy for both agricultural and non-agricultural products as of end-2024. One-page profiles offer more detailed tariff data broken down by product groups for each economy based on the WTO's Multilateral Trade Negotiations (MTN) categories, the product classification system used by the WTO for trade statistics and policy analysis. Also shown are the tariffs imposed on its exports by its main trading partners. Summaries of the import and export tariffs for each economy are also provided. These are complemented by statistics on non-tariff measures (NTMs) by economy and product group.

The special topic of this year's publication is “Global trade on most-favoured-nation (MFN) terms”, a fundamental element of the multilateral trading system. The study finds that the MFN principle, whereby all trading partners are treated equally, is instrumental in promoting stability in world trade. MFN trade shares vary significantly across economies and product groups but approximately 74% of global trade is still conducted on MFN terms, as of May 2025, despite recent trade tensions.
