USTR - CAFTA-DR Final Text
|
The CAFTA countries and many other developing
countries already enjoy duty freeaccess to the U.S. market for the majority
of their exports through trade preference programs provided by Congress to
promote economic development. Yet these
countries often have high tariff and non-tariff barriers for U.S. exports
and impose restrictions on U.S. businesses. State-of-the-art free trade
agreements like the CAFTA not only reduce barriers to U.S. trade, but also
require important reforms of the domestic legal and business environment
that are key to encouraging business development and investment. |
