That’s a savings increase of about 10 percent over 2015.

The infographic below highlights some other key facts and figures about the GSP program for 2016.

We’ll be rolling out lots of new GSP-related data in the coming weeks and months as we work to educate Congress on the importance of renewing GSP before its scheduled expiration on December 31, 2017.

If you have not yet done so, please add your name to the free 2017 GSP Supporter List so the Coalition for GSP can show the broad support for renewal across the country.

The countries represent some of the largest GSP exporters, including Thailand, Indonesia, and the Philippines, as well as smaller countries like Kosovo, Mongolia, and Uruguay.  The letter highlights the loss in market share for GSP-eligible products, the increased costs for US producers, and job loss in their respective countries.
