Aug. 3 Deadline to Seek Duty-Free Treatment for Imports Under GSP
The Office of the U.S. Trade Representative has launched its 2010 review of the Generalized System of Preferences and has set an Aug. 3 deadline for requests to modify the list of products eligible for duty-free treatment under this program. Such modifications may include expanding GSP coverage to goods not already eligible and withdrawing, suspending or limiting eligibility for goods currently receiving duty-free treatment.

USTR is also inviting petitions requesting that specified products remain eligible for GSP treatment through waivers of the competitive need limitation. These petitions may be filed after Aug. 3 and are due no later than Nov. 16.

USTR warns that petitions submitted after the respective deadlines will not be considered for review.

The deadline for receipt of petitions for the country practices eligibility review will be announced in the Federal Register at a later date.
