| 摘要： | Free trade in all electronic products has been a major U.S. objective since the Uruguay Round negotiations of the General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade. The Information Technology Agreement (ITA), signed by 28 countries or customs territories during the World Trade Organization (WTO) Ministerial meeting in Singapore in December 1996, and subsequently expanded to 43 signatories, made significant progress toward this goal by requiring participants to eliminate tariffs on certain information technology products by January 1, 2000. Signatories to the ITA agreed to meet periodically to review whether the product coverage should be modified to incorporate additional products and to consult on nontariff barriers to trade in information technology products. At the March 26, 1997, meeting of the WTO, ITA participants agreed that consultations on additional product coverage would begin on October 1, 1997, finish in 1998, and be implemented no later than January 1, 1999. Recommendations by U.S. industry on products for inclusion in the ITA received pursuant to the U.S. Trade Representative (USTR)'s September 3, 1997, Federal Register notice were compiled by USTR, combined with products proposed by U.S. trading partners, and forwarded to the U.S. International Trade Commission with a request for information and advice. The advice provided in this report consists of detailed descriptions of the products in USTR's list, the uses of these products relative to both information technology and non-information technology industries and consumers, major producing countries, and U.S. trading partners. The report also includes a brief analysis of current tariff and nontariff barriers, patterns of U.S. imports and exports, and increased market opportunities resulting from proposed tariff modifications. |
