USTR Notice on Probable Effect of Modifications to the U.S.-Singapore FTA
Comments requested by September 15.
The United States Trade Representative (USTR) is requesting comments as to the probable effect certain modifications to tariff treatment of imports under the United States-Singapore Free Trade Agreement on total U.S. trade, domestic producers, and workers in the affected industries. Among products from AFI members, USTR is evaluating proposals to accelerate the planned reduction in duties on peanuts in snack products (HS 2008.11). In addition, USTR is soliciting proposals regarding what sort of concessions Singapore, which does not impose duties on imports from the United States, could make to maintain the balance of concessions if these tariff acceleration requests are approved.
Interested parties are invited to submit written statements concerning any economic effects of the proposed modifications to FR0625@ustr.eop.gov by September 15.
