All Members of EEPC India 

Dear Member, 

Sub : GSP Eligibility 

We have received an E-mail from the Department of Commerce which has been 

forwarded from the Embassy of India, Washington regarding US Generalized System of 

Preferences (GSP) eligibility for your information and necessary action. 

2. Please note that the Office of the US Trade Representative (USTR) has made 

available full calendar year 2012 import statistics which can be found at 

http://dataweb.usitc.gov/scripts/user_set.asp. 

3. The attached document (PDF format) contains four lists referred to in the Notice 

published in the US Federal Register on 19 March, 2013, entitled “2012 Generalised 

System of Preferences (GSP) Product Review: Inviting Public Comments on Possible 

Actions Related to Competitive Need Limitations.” These four lists show products that 

could be excluded from or reinstated to the duty-free treatment available under the GSP 

based on Competitive Need Limitations (CNLs). Briefly, these four lists are as under:- 

List I contains GSP eligible articles from Beneficiary Developing Countries (BDCs) that 

exceeded a CNL and are newly subject to potential exclusion (This list contains only two 

products, which are from Brazil. It does not contain any product from India). 

List II contains GSP eligible articles from BDCs that are eligible for a de minimis CNL 

waiver. (This list contains 100 products from a number of BDCs, including 48 products 

from India) 

List III contains GSP eligible articles from certain BDCs that are currently not receiving 

GSP duty free treatment, but that may be considered for re-designation. (This list 

contains 156 products from a number of BDCs, including 17 products from India) 

List IV contains Articles subject to CNL waiver revocation based on the provisions of 

Section 503(d)(4)(B)(ii) of the 1974 Act, as amended by Public Law 109–432. (This list 

contains only one product, which is from Indonesia. It does not contain any product 

from India)

4. As mentioned above, no product from India figures in List I and List IV. 

However, it may please be noted that the USTR has provided these lists for informational 

purposes only and has strongly encouraged the interested parties to independently 

research the 2012 trade statistics, using the U.S. International Trade Commission’s 

(USITC) “dataweb” site, which can be found at 

http://dataweb.usitc.gov/scripts/user_set.asp. 

5. The Office of the USTR will accept public comments submitted by April 12, 

2013, regarding: (1) possible de minimis CNL waivers; (2) possible re-designations of 

articles currently not eligible for GSP benefits because they previously exceeded the CNL 

thresholds; and (3) potential revocation of CNL waivers. 

6. The information regarding Statutory provisions related to CNLs and the 

Requirements for Submissions (of Comments), etc. are mentioned in the USTR Federal 

Notice of 19 March 2013 regarding Generalized System of Preferences Product Review; 

Competitive Need Limitations which is available at http://www.ustr.gov/. 

Members are requested to see the Federal Notice and check the trade statistics pertaining 

to them and take suitable steps as per the above. A soft copy of your comments may 

please be sent to us at sgupta@eepcindia.net, eepcho@eepcindia.net so that we can 

intimate the Department of commerce and the Embassy of India, Washington. 

With kind regards, 

Yours sincerely, 

(B. SARKAR)

2012 GSP Annual Product Review: Import Statistics Relating to Competitive Need 

Limitations (CNLs), Potential Revocations, De Minimis Waivers, and Product Redesignations 

This document contains the lists referred to in the notice published in the Federal Register on March 19, 2013, entitled “2012 

Generalized System of Preferences (GSP) Product Review: Inviting Public Comments on Possible Actions Related to Competitive 

Need Limitations.” These lists are provided for informational purposes only. Interested parties are strongly encouraged to 

independently research the 2012 trade statistics, using the U.S. International Trade Commission’s (USITC) “dataweb” site, which can 

be found at http://dataweb.usitc.gov/scripts/user_set.asp. 

List I shows GSP-eligible articles from beneficiary developing countries (BDCs) that exceeded a CNL by having been 

imported into the United States in 2012 in excess of $155 million, or in a quantity equal to or greater than 50 percent of the total U.S. 

import value for this product in 2012. These products will be removed from eligibility for GSP for the subject countries on July 1, 

2013, unless the President grants a waiver for the product for the subject country in response to a petition filed by an interested party. 

Such petitions for CNL waivers were due on November 21, 2012, as announced in the notice initiating the 2012 GSP Annual Review, 

published in the Federal Register on July 30, 2012 (See 77 FR 44704). The last column in List I shows those products for which 

petitions have been accepted and remain under review. 

List II identifies GSP-eligible articles from BDCs that are above the 50 percent CNL, but that are eligible for a de minimis 

waiver of the 50 percent CNL. Articles eligible for de minimis waivers are automatically considered in the GSP annual review 

process, without the filing of a petition. Public comments (including comments in support of or in opposition to de minimis waivers) 

are invited in accordance with the requirements for submissions set out in the notice published in the Federal Register on March 19, 

2013. 

List III shows GSP-eligible articles from certain BDCs that are currently not receiving GSP duty-free treatment, but that may 

be considered for GSP redesignation based on 2012 trade data and consideration of certain statutory factors. Recommendations to the 

President on redesignations are normally made as part of the GSP annual review process, and public comments (including comments 

in support of or in opposition to redesignations) are invited in accordance with the requirements for submissions set out in the notice 

published in the Federal Register on March 19, 2013. 

List IV shows articles subject to CNL waiver revocation based on the provisions of Section 503(d)(4)(B)(ii) of the 1974 Act, 

as amended by Public Law 109–432. Recommendations to the President on revocation of these waivers will be made as part of the 

2012 GSP annual review process, and public comments (including comments in support of or in opposition to revocations of CNL 

waivers) are invited in accordance with the requirements for submissions set out in the notice published in the Federal Register on 

March 19, 2013.
