Abstract
This Note outlines the purpose, scope and operation of the GSP from 1976 until 1984. Both the initial authorizing legislation and the 1984 Trade Act are analyzed. The 1979 modifications made in the Trade Agreement Act are briefly discussed where they are relevant. The 1984 Trade Act changes are detailed, with commentary on the manner in which the renewed GSP differs materially from prior law, and with discussion of the underlying policies and significance of the changes. The Note concludes with comments on the diverse objectives of the United States GSP scheme, its evolving nature, and prospects for continuation of the scheme beyond 1993.
