The Generalized System of Preferences (GSP)

 The Generalized System of Preferences (GSP), a well structured US trade program,  was waiting approval desperately by Indian exporters since 18 months got approval on 5 on August 2015 with retrospective effect from August 2013 till December 2017 permitting duty-free entry of 3,500 product lines and it brought sign of relief for exporters and boost for Indian economy.

GSP program formed in January 1, 1976, by the Trade Act of 1974 provided preferential duty-free entry for up to 4,800 products from 129 designated beneficiary countries. President Obama had extended it earlier till July 31, 2013 after expiration of congressional agreement till December 31, 2010 with retrospective effect from Jan1 2011.

GSP is trade program as quoted by US Trade representative official which permits duty free entry of eligible goods of developing countries in US boundaries. The decision will give boost to exports of commodities like gems, jewellery and textiles.
