This program eliminates tariffs on some imports for developing countries in order to promote development through trade rather than traditional aid programs. Concerns have been raised as to whether administration of the program adequately considers the impact of GSP imports on domestic producers and effectively enforces beneficiary country obligations. This program analyzes (1) benefits provided to beneficiary developing countries, (2) limitations on GSP imports, (3) administration of the program for adding or removing products from GSP coverage, and (4) administration of program provisions requiring that countries follow certain intellectual property and worker rights practices. https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/GAOREPORTS-GGD-95-9/html/GAOREPORTS-GGD-95-9.htm https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/GAOREPORTS-GGD-95-9/pdf/GAOREPORTS-GGD-95-9.pdf GAO/GGD-95-9 https://www.govinfo.gov/app/details/GAOREPORTS-GGD-95-9 Chapter Report GAO/GGD-95-9; International Trade: Assessment of the Generalized System of Preferences Program; International economic relations Tariffs Foreign trade agreements International trade Import regulation Foreign trade policies Developing countries Restrictive trade practices Customs administration Import restriction Generalized System of Preferences Program Brazil Dominican Republic Hungary Malaysia Thailand Turkey Mexico North American Free Trade Agreement NAFTA European Union Japan South Korea Hong Kong Singapore United States-Israel Free Trade Agreement Andean Trade Preference Act
