IMPORTANT ANNOUNCEMENT
Dear Companies;
The list of effected products in the wake of Turkey's removal from the Generalized Preferences System (GPS) is attached below.
An “A” in the GSP Status column designates articles that are GSP-eligible from any beneficiary developing country (BDC). “A*” indicates that the product is not eligible for certain GSP beneficiaries specified in General Note 4 to the Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States.
In this case, Turkey's exports to the US, if removed from the GSP program, will be taxed according to the rates specified in the document.
Event and Activities
Young TABA-AmCham Vice Chairman Murat Keçeciler was a guest on Teke Tek with Fatih Altaylı this week. The increasing diplomatic traffic between Ankara and Washington DC and the resulting political and economic effects framed the conversation.
Is Kushner's visit to Ankara and the USA's decision to reinstate the Ankara Ambassador a sign of a new era in US-Turkey relations?
Turkey's two year old application for a Patriot missile defense system has finally be answered in the affirmative. What prompted the United States' decision. Will the S-400 purchase agreement with Russia be affected?
Will the United States withdraw from Syria? If it does, how will regional stability be affected? How will Turkey's interests in the region's security come into play?
Answers to these questions and more by clicking on the link in the photo above.
