Description

Subtract inputWorldCost from outputPrice for positive worldValueAdded.

A specific duty is an amount per unit, while an ad valorem rate is a fraction of a valuation base. Quotas and input-output adjustments introduce additional supplied assumptions.

Subtract inputWorldCost from outputPrice for positive worldValueAdded.

When to use this tool

Use Effective Protection Value Added Base Term when you need a tariff or quota-model arithmetic component.

How to use the tool and how it works

  1. Enter outputPrice, inputWorldCost, outputTariff, inputTariff. Use the units and conventions below.
  2. Run the tool. Correct any format, range, or cross-field input error before interpreting the output.
  3. Read worldValueAdded, protectedValueAdded, effectiveProtection. Use the output convention below.

Subtract inputWorldCost from outputPrice for positive worldValueAdded. Apply output and input tariffs separately for protectedValueAdded and divide their added-value change by worldValueAdded for effectiveProtection.1

Limitations and assumptions

  • Rates are fractions above -1 and the input model is supplied; negative effective protection is allowed and actual customs treatment is not determined.
  • Inputs must satisfy both the field types and the cross-field conditions above. Invalid input causes an error; a successful false flag or documented placeholder is a different result.
  • Numeric calculations use binary floating point unless exact decimal-integer arithmetic is explicitly stated. No hidden measurement tolerance or decimal rounding is added; nonfinite or out-of-contract results are rejected. Numeric signed-zero results are exported as zero.

Alternative or Complementary methods

Verify classification, origin, valuation, quota allocation, and current law with the responsible customs professional.
