1The GSP (Generalised System of Preferences) is a system that offers lower duties which enable the world's poorest countries to introduce their goods to Norway duty free or at reduced tariffs. LDC treatment within the GSP involves tariff and quota-free market access, while the ordinary GSP treatment involves some additional restrictions.
2This table shows figures for the GSP system where the agreement is implemented. Previously published information for countries with a GSP agreement includes figures for all countries that can be covered by the agreement. The figures in this table will, therefore, be somewhat lower.
3In addition to the countries that are defined as LDCs according to the OECD, Norway has chosen to apply the LDC treatment to low-income countries with populations below 75 million. Botswana, Namibia and Swaziland have also retained an approximate LDC treatment. The figures for LDCs in this table may therefore differ somewhat from ordinary LDC figures.
