A Conciliatory Gesture
Posted: April 20, 2007
CHINA TO REDUCE EXPORT TAX
REBATE ON TEXTILE AND APPAREL PRODUCTS
Chinese media sources are reporting that the central
government is planning to soon reduce the rebates of
valued-added export taxes that are granted to textile
and apparel products. While no final decisions have
apparently yet been made, reports indicate that the
industry could see cuts from eleven percent to nine
percent for cotton and manmade fiber textile products,
thirteen percent to nine percent for apparel and nine
percent to five percent for chemical fiber products.
The rebate reductions are reportedly designed to help
reduce China's ballooning trade surplus with the U.S.,
which has become an extremely sensitive issue between
the two countries. Although it makes up a relatively
small percentage of China's total exports to the U.S.,
textiles and apparel is a high-profile, politically
significant industry, and it is therefore unsurprising
that China would offer a conciliatory gesture in this
sector at a time when pressure for punitive action is
mounting in the U.S. Congress.
The move is also likely an attempt to head off
potentially damaging trade disputes with the U.S.
Earlier this year the Bush administration filed a WTO
complaint alleging that China offers a number of tax
refunds, reductions and exemptions to subsidize exports
and promote purchases of domestic equipment and inputs.
While the two sides have not yet held the formal
consultations that are the first step in the WTO dispute
settlement process, China has already begun to take
measures to address U.S. concerns. In addition to
lowering the textile and apparel export tax rebate, it
announced in early March that it would eliminate a
central bank regulation that allows large exporters to
take advantage of discounted loans not available to
other companies.
The rebate reduction may also be designed to lower the
chances for successful U.S. trade remedy cases against
Chinese textiles and apparel, which could be filed once
temporary U.S. quotas on such products expire at the end
of 2008. The low prices and government support
associated with these goods make them appealing targets
for antidumping and countervailing duty cases, and a
preliminary policy change announced recently by the
Department of Commerce indicates that both will likely
be available to the domestic industry in the near
future. |

USA-Korea FTA |
|
Largest Pact Since NAFTA
Posted: April 4, 2007
US
and S. Korea Finalize Bilateral Free Trade Agreement
Beating a critical weekend deadline by just hours, the
US has concluded a free-trade agreement (FTA) with South
Korea, making it the latest such agreement reached under
the president's trade-promotion authority (TPA).
The agreement was concluded on Sunday (April 1, 2007),
the last day that Trade Promotion Authority (TPA), or
“fast track,” allows the president to submit free-trade
agreements to Congress for an up or down vote, without
amendments.
Congress now has 90 days to consider the agreement
before the president’s TPA expires on June 30.
Originally, the US had said a deal needed to be wrapped
by March 31, but on Saturday US officials said the
deadline was April 1 in the US.
With the pending expiration of TPA, the US doesn’t plan
to launch any new FTA negotiations, said US State
Department spokesman Sean McCormack.
Also in question late last week was a proposed US free
trade agreement with Malaysia, which was eventually put
on indefinite hold when it became obvious that certain
hurdles keeping the pact from becoming a reality
couldn’t be surmounted before the weekend deadline.
Fast-track authority was granted to President Bush in
2001, when the House of Representatives was controlled
by Republicans. With Democrats now in control in
Congress, renewal of TPA is uncertain.
The Korea FTA is the "most commercially significant"
free-trade agreement the US has reached in more than 10
years, or since the North American Free Trade Agreement
(NAFTA), according to a media release distributed by the
Office of the US Trade Representative.
The new trade agreement will eventually eliminate nearly
all tariffs on the two-way trade in manufactured goods
and “offer substantial new market access for US services
exports and agricultural products,” it said.
The sometimes acrimonious, 11-month negotiations that
led to the pact “demonstrate that two countries with
large, complex and dynamic economies, and a tradition of
robust public involvement can work through challenges
and craft a high-quality free trade agreement," it said.
Major differences over the trade in automobiles,
textiles, pharmaceuticals, agriculture – particularly US
access to the Korean beef and rice markets – and other
issues, including the status of South Korean goods
manufactured at a small economic enterprise zone in
North Korea, continually threw up obstacles to the rapid
crafting of a comprehensive deal. Source:

National Trade
Estimate Report
on Foreign
Trade Barriers |
|
USTR Submits
Annual Trade Report to
Congress
Posted: April 4, 2007
2007 National Trade Estimate Report on Foreign Trade
Barriers
The Office of the U.S.
Trade Representative announced on April 2the release of
its 2007 National Trade Estimate Report (NTE), which
details significant barriers to U.S. trade and
investment and the broad array of U.S. actions to reduce
and eliminate those barriers. “This report reflects the
success of the Administration’s pro-growth,
market-opening trade agenda. However, a significant
amount of work remains to knock down trade barriers and
ensure that American exporters have new economic
opportunities across the globe,” said U.S. Trade
Representative Susan C. Schwab. The annual report,
delivered to Congress on March 30, as required by
statute, lays out successes and ongoing efforts to
eliminate trade barriers and unfair trade practices U.S.
exporters of industrial goods, agricultural products,
and services face in 63 major trading partners. Some
notable successes in these efforts in 2006 include:
- Bilateral agreements signed in connection with World
Trade Organization (WTO) accession negotiations with
Russia and Ukraine that provide access for U.S.
exporters of products ranging from frozen pork to leased
aircraft.
- China removed anti-dumping duties on kraft linerboard
as the United States prepared to seek WTO dispute
resolution consultations on the issue.
- At the April 2006 Joint Commission on Commerce and
Trade, the government of China agreed to increase
intellectual property rights (IPR) protection for
software by requiring the pre-loading of operating
system software on all computers produced or imported
into China, as well as to require government agencies to
purchase computers with pre-loaded software.
- Japan introduced a new leniency system to encourage
companies to report illegal cartels and construction bid
rigging schemes that effectively impede market access
for U.S. companies.
- The United States resolved a number of long-standing
sanitary and phytosanitary and technical standards
issues with Peru, Colombia, Panama, and CAFTA-DR
countries through agreements reached in 2006 covering
trade in meat, poultry, rice, dairy, and other processed
foods.
- The European Union agreed on a package of bilateral
market-opening actions for U.S. exports of fish,
chemicals, agricultural products, and other items
designed to offset tariff increases that U.S. products
faced when ten new countries joined the European Union
in March 2006. A similar agreement was reached with the
European Union providing market-opening actions
regarding services.
- Conclusion of bilateral WTO market access agreements
with Vietnam, Ukraine and Russia, which will result in
substantial new market access for goods and services,
when these countries join the WTO. Vietnam became a WTO
member in January 2007, and work continues with Ukraine
and Russia.
The NTE report also details areas where the
Administration will continue to seek reductions in trade
barriers and fight for the fair application of global
trading rules. Some priority areas for improvement
include:
- Enforcing IPR in China: The United States has made it
clear that formal WTO consultations will be necessary
without concrete actions by China in this area. Sales of
infringing goods displace legitimate goods and reduce
U.S. access to China’s market and other markets affected
by China’s infringing exports. Inadequate IPR
enforcement affects a wide range of products, including
films, music, published materials, software,
pharmaceuticals, chemicals, information technology,
consumer goods, industrial goods, food products, medical
devices, electrical equipment, automotive parts,
clothing and footwear.
- Eliminating trade-distorting subsidies to Airbus: The
United States will continue to press its WTO case
against Europe’s trade-distorting subsidies to aircraft
manufacturing giant Airbus.
- Addressing China’s Prohibited Subsidy Practices: The
United States requested WTO dispute resolution
consultations with China on that country’s apparent use
of prohibited export and import substitution subsidies
that hurt small and medium-sized U.S. manufacturers and
their workers and a WTO panel on its discriminatory
treatment of imported auto parts. In 2007, the
Administration will vigorously continue to pursue
resolution of these issues.
- Providing fair treatment for wine and distilled
spirits: The United States requested WTO consultations
on India’s discriminatory taxes on wine and distilled
spirits and will push for fair treatment for U.S.
vintners and distillers in this large and growing
market.

Vietnam to Require Export
Licenses
Posted: March 16, 2007
for Apparel Shipments to U.S.
In an effort to avoid possible U.S. antidumping duty
investigations, Vietnam’s ministries of trade and
industry have announced that they will impose temporary
export licensing requirements to allow them to closely
monitor the quantity and price of exports of shirts,
trousers, underwear, sweaters and swimwear destined for
the U.S. market. According to various reports, the
Vietnam Textile and Apparel Association recommended that
the government institute an export licensing system to
better manage export growth, establish new export
markets, protect against transshipment and protect the
long-term interests of Vietnamese apparel exports.
The announcement came as the Department of Commerce
released its first set of monthly statistics on textile
and apparel imports from Vietnam. The DOC will review
this data every six months to determine if there is
sufficient evidence that these goods are being dumped in
the U.S. market. If so, the DOC has said it will
self-initiate an AD duty investigation of the product or
products at issue. The department committed to this
process as part of an effort to move legislation
granting permanent normal trade relations status to
Vietnam in 2006.
