GSP Eligibility Changes Announced


On March 26, United States Trade Representative Ron Kirk announced that the Republic of South Sudan has been designated as a beneficiary country under the Generalized System of Preferences “GSP” as well as a least developed beneficiary developing country.    At the same time, Argentina’s eligibility for GSP benefits has been suspended.  Argentina was suspended for failing to pay two arbitration awards totaling approximately $300  million due to U.S. companies.  The suspension takes effect 60 days from the date of the presidential proclamation in the Federal Register.
