This database contains estimates of the change (hence the Δ) in the shares of a jurisdiction's imports that are covered by trade distortions implemented by the importing nation and by third party governments. Taking 1 November 2008 as the starting point, the estimates available refer to the change in goods imports covered by trade distortions for each year 2009 to 2023. Estimates are provided for 243 customs territories, with information provided for certain regional trade agreements.

The GTA team documents a broad range of policy choices. Each state act is characterised using a taxonomy of more than a dozen variables. The classification is further supported with data on international flows of goods, services, migration and investment.
The GTA handbook describes the database structure, the assessment criteria, the interpretation of the different variables as well as the data origins.
