Trade Representative, Office of United States
The United States Trade Representative (Trade Representative), pursuant to sections 304(a)(1)(A) and 301(b) of the Trade Act of 1974, as amended (the Trade Act), has determined that certain acts, policies, and practices of Ukraine with respect to the protection of intellectual property rights are unreasonable and burden or restrict United States commerce and are thus actionable under section 301(b). Pursuant to sections 304(a)(1)(B), 301(b) and 301(c) of the Trade Act, the Trade Representative has determined that appropriate action to obtain the elimination of such acts, policies, and practices includes the suspension of duty-free treatment accorded to all products of Ukraine under the Generalized System of Preferences (GSP) program. Moreover, because further action may include the imposition of prohibitive duties on certain products of Ukraine, in this notice USTR is also publishing a preliminary list of Ukrainian products under consideration for the imposition of prohibitive duties. USTR invites interested persons to submit written comments and to participate in a public hearing concerning the possible imposition of prohibitive duties on the products on the enclosed preliminary list.
