Advised companies and governments on the U.S. GSP program.  The GSP program provides preferential treatment, i.e., zero duties, to imports of many products from developing countries under the theory that increased access to the U.S. market will strengthen these countries’ economies. However, not all products are covered and various exceptions apply to continuation of benefits. Every year, USTR considers requests to add or remove products, and to maintain benefits that might otherwise be cancelled. We help companies and countries that seek either to extend and preserve benefits or to reduce or eliminate benefits.
