USTR Reviewing GSP for India, Indonesia and Kazakhstan

Whether imports of certain products from India, Indonesia and Kazakhstan should continue to see duty-free treatment via the Generalized System of Preferences (GSP) is being assessed by the Office of the US Trade Representative.For India, the review is on access to the India market for US dairy and medical products while the review for Indonesia links to their market access related to its compliance with GSP provisions on services and investment.For Kazakhstan, the review is relative to the country not adopting internationally recognized worker rights. “GSP provides an important tool to help enforce the Trump Administration’s key principles of free and fair trade across the globe. The President is committed to ensuring that those countries who receive GSP benefits uphold their end of the bargain by continuing to meet the eligibility criteria outlined by Congress,” said Deputy USTR Jeffrey Gerrish. “We hope that India, Indonesia, and Kazakhstan will work with us to address the concerns that led to these new reviews.
