• Under this program, US provides duty-free access to 4800 different products from goods from 129 designated countries in order to foster trade and economic development.
• A mandatory 60 days must now pass after notification of the notice to the beneficiary countries and to Congress, during which time there is, at least technically, the possibility of negotiation.
