Summary

Introduced in House, Sep 20, 2023

This bill makes tire articles ineligible to receive duty-free treatment under the Generalized System of Preferences (GSP) trade program.

The GSP is a trade program that provides preferential duty-free treatment for certain products from designated beneficiary countries. Certain products are considered import-sensitive and are specifically prohibited from receiving GSP treatment. This bill specifically lists tire articles as import-sensitive and therefore ineligible to receive duty-free treatment under the GSP.
