Integrated Trade Intelligence Portal (I-TIP)
Improving the transparency of trade policy measures

The Integrated Trade Intelligence Portal (I-TIP) will provide a single entry point for all information compiled by the WTO on trade policy measures. Containing information on over 25,000 measures, I-TIP currently covers both tariff and non-tariff measures affecting trade in goods as well as information on trade agreements and the accession commitments of WTO members. Later in 2013, it will be expanded to cover trade in services and other areas. Its aim is to serve the needs of those seeking detailed information on trade policy measures as well as those looking for summary information.
