Precision
The headline is stored to 2 decimals, as published.
Rounded by this site
Never. Tables on screen may show fewer decimals; the files never do.
Changed by this site
Reshaped into one row per country: regional and income-group totals are left out, only the columns listed are kept, each row gets its ISO 3166 code, and some country names are brought to one spelling. No value is recalculated, rescaled or rounded.
World Bank staff estimates from the World Integrated Trade Solution, read from the World Development Indicators through the Bank’s indicator API (TM.TAX.MRCH.WM.AR.ZS), stored to the two decimals the Bank publishes. Only the Bank’s computed average is used, not the underlying tariff and trade records.
