USTR Posts Comments on CNL Waiver Petitions and Possible Re-designations of GSP Articles
The Office of the U.S. Trade Representative posted comments (here) on possible de minimis competitive needs limitation (CNL) waivers and possible re-designations of articles not eligible for Generalized System of Preferences (GSP) benefits because they exceeded CNL thresholds, as part of the executive branch's 2016/2017 GSP review. Comments were due at midnight March 22. The Trump administration is expected to make effective final decisions regarding the 2016/2017 GSP review by July 1. In another notice, the International Trade Commission said (here) that it won’t provide advice on withdrawn petitions that had requested CNL waivers for certain products under GSP, after USTR rescinded its request for advice on such petitions in a Feb. 17 letter to the ITC (see 1703020045).
