USTR Seeking Comments on NAFTA Renegotiation

The interagency Trade Policy Staff Committee (TPSC) is seeking comments to inform the development of the Office of the U.S. Trade Representative’s objectives for the anticipated NAFTA renegotiation, the TPSC announced (here). Specifically, the TPSC is asking for information on customs and trade facilitation issues that should be addressed, trade remedy issues, possible rules of origin changes, potential impacts of removal of tariffs and other trade barriers to U.S. producers and consumers and treatment of particular goods on the Harmonized Tariff Schedule and other issues. USTR will accept comments through June 12, and a hearing on proposed renegotiation topics will take place on June 27 at 9 a.m. at the International Trade Commission.
