1 Excludes imports into the U.S. Virgin Islands. 2 These import data show total imports, by sector, that are reported under an HTS provision that establishes eligibility for duty-free entry under GSP.

For a variety of reasons, all imports from beneficiary countries under HTS provisions that appear to be "eligible" for GSP do not always necessarily receive duty-free entry under GSP. Such "eligible" imports may not actually receive duty-free entry under GSP for at least 4 types of reasons: (1) the importer fails to claim GSP benefits affirmatively; (2) the goods are from a beneficiary country that has lost GSP benefits on that product for exceeding the so-called "competitive need" limits; (3) the goods are from a beneficiary country that has lost GSP benefits on that product because of a petition to remove that country from GSP for that product; and (4) the goods fail to meet the rule of origin or direct shipment requirements of the GSP statute. 3 These import data show the total imports, by sector, that actually received duty-free entry under the GSP. Note.-Because of rounding, figures may not add to the totals shown. Source: Compiled from official statistics of the U.S. Department of Commerce.
