US promising mkt for fast consumer goods – DTI

Exporters of fast moving consumer goods (FMCG) are being strongly encouraged to take advantage of the opportunities in the US market, given the country’s beneficiary status under the US Generalized System of Preferences (GSP) program that will cut tariffs on thousands of export products to the US.

The Department of Trade and Industry (DTI) through its Export Marketing Bureau (EMB) recently held a series of seminars on Doing Business with the United States for FMCG in Manila, Cebu, and Davao as part of its Doing Business in Free Trade Areas (DBFTA) program.
