ACPMSThe ASEAN Community Progress Monitoring System (ACPMS) is a project under the
ASEAN-Australia Development Cooperation Program Phase II (AADCP II). It aims to track
pertinent socio-economic progress and trends in ASEAN through the use of outcomes-level
Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) for the ASEAN Economic Community (AEC) and the ASEAN
Socio-Cultural Community (ASCC). These series of ACPMS infographics derived from the
ACPMS Report 2017, comprises of four themes which are inclusive development, tariff
liberatisation, connectivity and narrowing the development gap. The 2017 Report, the last of
the three ACPMS report series, complemented the existing broader regional integration
monitoring mechanisms for the ASEAN Community.

TARIFF LIBERALISATION
Tariff LiberalisationPursuant to the commitments made in the Common Effective Preferential Tariff (CEPT) Scheme of the ASEAN
Free Trade Area (AFTA) agreed in 1992, and later in the ASEAN Trade in Goods Agreement (ATIGA) in 2010,
ASEAN continues to make progress in integrating into the global economy through Free Trade Agreements
(FTAs) and Comprehensive Economic Partnerships (CEPs), as reflected in the liberalisation of tariffs on
Extra-ASEAN imports from its FTA Partners.
Preferential Tariff is a tariff schedule under which one or more nations are given lower rates than Most
Favored Nation (MFN) Tariff, i.e. normal non-discriminatory tariff charged on imports.
Intra-ASEAN tariff is tariff schedule applied by an ASEAN Member States (AMS) to imports from other AMSs.
Tariff on imports from ASEAN FTA partners is tariff schedule applied by an AMS to imports from Australia,
New Zealand, Japan, China, Republic of Korea and India.
CUSTOMOFFICE

Member States. The reductions in imports tariffs were most profound in Cambodia,
Lao PDR, Myanmar and Viet Nam (CLMV) during the period of 2005-2017.
