India asks U.S. to renew GSP scheme

The U.S. Generalized System of Preferences (GSP) is a program designed to promote economic growth in the developing world by providing preferential duty-free entry for up to 5,000 products when imported from one of 127 designated beneficiary countries and territories. GSP was instituted on January 1, 1976, by the Trade Act of 1974.
Products that are eligible for duty-free treatment under GSP include: most manufactured items; many types of chemicals, minerals and building stone; jewelry; many types of carpets; and certain agricultural and fishery products. Among the products that are not eligible for GSP duty-free treatments are: most textiles and apparel; watches; and most footwear, handbags, and luggage products.
