Faster Review of Duty-Free Imports (GSP Program).
This law creates an accelerated process allowing businesses to quickly request changes to which imported products are eligible for duty-free status under the Generalized System of Preferences (GSP). This means decisions about which goods from developing countries enter the U.S. without tariffs will be made faster. These changes could potentially affect the cost and availability of certain consumer goods and manufacturing inputs in the U.S. market.
Key points
Establishes a rapid process for businesses to petition for changes to the list of products exempt from import tariffs (GSP), potentially speeding up import cost changes.
The International Trade Commission (ITC) must gather data on imports, domestic production, and public comments on each petition within one year of the law's enactment.
The public and businesses will have 45 days to submit comments regarding proposed tariff changes, ensuring an opportunity to influence trade decisions.
