The United States and Chile are preparing to negotiate a free trade agreement that would lift tariffs and other import barriers and should promote more bilateral trade. Agricultural products account for a major portion of U.S.-Chilean bilateral trade, although Chile exports far more agricultural products to the United States than it imports from this country. This report (1) compares U.S. and Chilean processes for registering pesticides, setting pesticide residue tolerances (maximum legal limits) on foods, and monitoring compliance with these tolerances and (2) determines whether Chilean sanitary and animal and plant health rules restrict potential U.S. agricultural exports. https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/GAOREPORTS-GGD-94-198/html/GAOREPORTS-GGD-94-198.htm GAO/GGD-94-198 https://www.govinfo.gov/app/details/GAOREPORTS-GGD-94-198 Chapter Report GAO/GGD-94-198; U.S.-Chilean Trade: Pesticide Standards and Concerns Regarding Chilean Sanitary Rules; Pesticides Safety standards Agricultural products Food inspection Pesticide regulation International trade Import regulation Exporting Health hazards Air pollution control Chile Chile Free Trade Agreement Negotiating Act of 1994 North American Free Trade Agreement NAFTA Title 2 Section 7671(c) 2 U.S.C. 7671(c) Title 7 Section 136 7 U.S.C. 136 Title 21 Section 301 Title 21 Section 466 21 U.S.C. 301 21 U.S.C. 466 Public Law 99-198 Public Law 102-585
