GENERALIZED SYSTEM O F PREFERENCES  
NOTIFICATION BY THE UNITED STATES  
Addendum  
The following communication, dated 13 June 2019, is being circulated at the request of the 
delegation of the United States. It contains a notification by the United States pursuant to paragraph 
4(a) of the Decision of 28 November 1979 on Differential and More Favourable Treatment Reciprocity 
and Fuller Participation of Developing Countries (L/4903).  
_______________  
 
1. The United States (US) Generalized System of Preferences (GSP) program provides 
preferential duty ‐free treatment for over 3,500 of the 7,000 U S tariff lines subject to 
most-favored -nation (MFN) tariff rates above 0 percent ( HTS-8 level), from a wide range of 
designated beneficiary developing countries (BDCs), including 44 least ‐developed beneficiary 
developing countries (LDBDCs). An additional 1,500 tariff lines are GSP ‐eligible when  imported from 
LDBDCs. Annual reviews of the GSP program are conducted in accordance with U S trade laws relating 
to the GSP program.1 
Reauthorization of the GSP Program  
2. Legal authorization of the GSP program lapsed from 31 December 2017 through 21  April 2018.  
During this time, products that would otherwise have been eligible for duty -free treatment under 
GSP were subject to the MFN rate. On 23 March 2018, President Trump signed the Consolidated 
Appropriations Act of 2018 (Public Law 115 -141),2 which  reauthorized the GSP program through 
31 December 2020, with benefits retroactive to 1 January 2018 for qualifying imports.3 As a result 
of the reauthorization, GSP -eligible products arriving in the United States on or after 22 April 2018 
were once again e ligible for duty -free treatment under GSP.  
3. In addition to reauthorizing the GSP program, Public Law 115 -141 made a number of 
modifications. First, Public Law 115 -141 requires the Office of the US Trade Representative (USTR) 
to submit to the Committee on Wa ys and Means of the US House of Representatives and to the 
Committee on Finance of the US Senate an annual report on US efforts to ensure that countries 
designated as BDCs are meeting the criteria affecting designation set forth in the GSP statute.  
Second,  Public Law 115 -141 established a new timeline for GSP review: the date for exclusion of 
products exceeding the statutory competitive need limitations (CNLs) changed from 1 July to  
1 November. Third, with respect to the date for determining whether a produ ct is not produced in 
the United States, Public Law 115 -141 changed the date so that instead of requiring that the product 
not have been produced in the United States on 1 January 1995, the product must not have been 
produced in the United States in any of  the preceding three calendar years.

3 The retroactive reautho rization enabled importers to request refund of duties paid on GSP -eligible 
products during the authorization lapse.  WT/COMTD/N/1/Add.10

  2015/2016 Annual Review of GSP  
4. In July 2016, the United States announced the outcome of the 2015/2016 Annual Review of 
the GSP program. As a result of the 2015/2016 Annual Review, the United States designated 27 
additi onal travel and luggage products as eligible for duty -free treatment for LDBDCs ( see Annex I). 
The United States terminated GSP eligibility for six products from specific beneficiary countries which 
had either (a) been petitioned to be removed (see Annex I I), or (b) exceeded statutory CNLs (see 
Annex III). In addition, the United States granted petitions to waive CNLs for three products from 
specific countries (see Annex IV) and granted one -year, de minimis  CNL waivers for other products.

travel and luggage products as eligible for duty -free treatment for all BDCs, and added five other 
products to GSP for all BDCs (see Annex V). The US terminated GSP eligibility for three products 
which had either (a) been petitioned to be rem oved (see Annex VI), or (b) exceeded statutory CNLs 
(see Annex VII). The US granted a petition to waive CNLs for a product from Brazil (see Annex  VIII) 
and granted one -year, de minimis  CNL waivers for certain other products.

Review of the GSP program. As a result of the 2018 Annual Product Review, the United States 
reinstated on e product from Kazakhstan to GSP eligibility (see Annex IX). The United States granted 
petitions to waive CNLs for three products from certain BDCs (see Annex X). The United States 
granted a petition to remove one product from Turkey from GSP eligibility ( see Annex XI). The 
United States terminated GSP eligibility for five products from specific beneficiary countries that had 
exceeded CNL thresholds (see Annex XII). In 2018, the United States did not grant de minimis  
waivers of the statutory CNLs (see Annex  XIII).

Changes to Lists of GSP Beneficiaries  
 
9. On 22 December  2017, President Trump signed Presidential Proclamation 9687, which, among 
other things, restored Argentina’s designation as a BDC for purposes of the GSP program. The 
proclamation also suspended GSP benefits for certain products from Ukraine due to its fa ilure to

under-the-african -growth -and-opportunity -act-and-for-other -purposes ." 
11. On 16 May  2019, President Trump signed Presidential Proclamation 9887, which terminated 
Turkey’s designation as a BDC for purposes of the GSP program. President Trump determined that 
it was appropriate to terminate Turkey’s designation as a BDC based on Turkey’s level of economic 
development, one of the criteria for BDC designation under the GSP statute.  
12. The Proclamation was published in the Federal Register and is available at: 
"https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/2019/05/21/2019 -10761/to -modify -the-list-of-
beneficiary -develo ping-countries -under -the-trade -act-of-1974."  
13. On 31 May 2019 , President Trump signed Presidential Proclamation 9902, which terminated 
India’s designation as a BDC for purposes of the GSP program. President Trump determined that it 
was appropriate to termin ate India’s designation as a BDC based on the lack of assurances to the 
United States by India that it will provide equitable and reasonable access to its markets, one of the 
criteria for BDC designation under the GSP statute. The Proclamation was publishe d in the Federal 
Register and is available at: "https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/FR -2019-06-05/pdf/2019 -
