USTR Accepts GSP Review Petitions to Add Roses, Remove Rice

The Office of the U.S. Trade Representative will accept comments on whether various kinds of rice should be removed from the list of products under the Generalized System of Preferences benefits program, and whether roses should be added. Comments are due May 27. Instead of an in-person hearing, due to the COVID-19 prevention guidelines the GSP Subcommittee of the Trade Policy Staff Committee instead will respond to petitioners and commenters with any questions, and they will have time to reply to the subcommittee.
