Bolivia and the U.S. Generalized System of Preferences (GSP) Program

May 2010

What is GSP?

The U.S. GSP program provides duty-free treatment for about 3,450 types of exports from Bolivia and 130 other developing countries. The purpose of the GSP program is to give these exports a competitive edge in the U.S. market. U.S. companies and customers are especially interested in buying goods through the GSP program because the exports are not charged tariffs upon entering the United States. These tariffs can range from 2% to 17% of the items’ cost. U.S. imports under GSP in 2009 from all beneficiary countries totaled $20.3 billion. Many items are eligible for GSP duty-free treatment. These include most manufactured items, inputs used in manufacturing, jewelry, many types of carpets, certain agricultural and fishery products, many types of chemicals, marble, and minerals. Not eligible for GSP duty-free treatment are certain textiles and apparel; watches; some footwear, handbags, and other leather items; luggage; most cloths and sheets for kitchen and bedroom use; and work gloves. The chart below shows the percentage of product types entering the United States under the GSP program in 2008.

How does an import receive GSP duty-free treatment?

A GSP-eligible import must meet the following requirements: • be included on the list of GSP-eligible articles; • be imported into the United States directly from Bolivia or pass through another country under a bill of

lading • be the growth, product, or manufacture of Bolivia; • if imported materials are used to make the product, the cost of the Bolivian materials plus the cost of

processing must equal at least 35% of the product’s sales price; • imported materials can count toward that 35% only if the imported materials are “substantially

transformed” and then used to produce or manufacture the export; “substantially transformed” means that the imported items go through at least two types of changes in form from when they were first imported

• MOST IMPORTANTLY: The importer must request duty-free treatment under GSP by placing an “A,” in front of the U.S. tariff line (HTSUS) number that identifies the imported article on U.S. Customs Entry Form 7501 (see Attachment 1).

What documents are needed to ensure GSP duty-free treatment?

For agricultural exports: 1. Producer’s statement verifying which town and farm the product is grown on 2. Description of product and quantity 3. Dated invoices for costs incurred To verify 35% rule of origin rule: 1. Dated invoices for materials used to produce good and from where 2. Description of product and quantity If processing operations are involved: 1. Description of processing and location 2. Direct costs of processing operations NOTE: Must keep all documents for at least 5 years Bolivia’s Use of GSP Preferences

How to Export More Bolivian Products Using GSP Duty-Free Benefits

Claim the GSP Savings: Bolivian producers and exporters need to make sure that they mark U.S. customs entry form 7501 with an “A” before the product’s tariff number to ensure GSP duty-free treatment (see Attachment 1). Export Products Duty-Free to the United States that are Currently Exported Elsewhere: Bolivia exports certain goods to other countries, but not the United States in large amounts. Many of these items are eligible for duty-free treatment in the United States:

• cocoa powder • wine • potatoes • dried fruits and berries • nuts • dried flowers • traditional games • wind, string, and drum musical

instruments

• paintings, sculpture, and wall hangings • wood picture frames • many types of carpets, kilims, and rugs • various types of hats • wooden statuettes, boxes, and other wood

items • certain baskets and handbags of bamboo,
