Washington D.C. - Congresswoman Miller (R-WV) introduced the Expedited Review of Products for GSP Act.This legislation would create an expedited process for stakeholders to petition the addition or removal of products from the Generalized System of Preferences (GSP) program. The International Trade Commission (ITC) will provide a report to Congress that will clearly lay out what products Congress should add or remove to best expand the program and protect American manufacturing. The bill has been included in the House Ways and Means Trade Subcommittee Chairman Adrian Smith's Generalized System of Preferences Reform Act, which will be marked up in the Ways and Means Committee on April 17th.
"GSP is one of the most important trade programs that the United States has developed, and it is essential for providing fairly priced products while helping developing countries grow their economies. The Biden Administration's inaction on trade has severely weakened our standing amongst once key trading partners, therefore cracking the door open for the Chinese Communist Party to lead in global trade. That is unacceptable. The Expedited Review of Products for GSP Act renews our commitment to implementing trade policy that benefits the United States and our allies. This legislation is a necessary first step to ensure the United States leads the world in trade policy," said Congresswoman Miller.
