Event Details

Join us next Monday, to find out more about the advantages and benefits of exporting to the American market under the Generalized System of Preferences. The GSP program is designed to promote economic growth in the developing world by providing preferential duty-free entry to the United States for eligible products from Moldova and 122 other beneficiary countries and territories. As a GSP beneficiary country, Moldova has the opportunity to export approximately 3,500 products to the United States duty-free under GSP.


The upcoming informative session will be delivered by Mr. Herfindahl, who oversees the administration of the GSP program and chairs the interagency committee that reviews country eligibility and product coverage under the program.


He will share more informational support in order to help local companies in exporting to U.S., one of the biggest markets in the world.
