Definitions of eligibility vary from company to company. Each originator company establishes different restrictions to their offer of reduced prices, and classifies countries according to different categories. This lack of uniformity leads to significant differences in the eligibility of a country for different products. Some companies resort to the least-developed country (LDC) classification developed by the United Nations (which are updated every few years), others to World Bank classifications concerning country income (which are updated annually), others still to geographical criteria (which may be subjective). Lists provided by companies may differ from the classifications developed by the United Nations or the World Bank.

The conditions detailed in the table below were those quoted by companies, unless specified.
