A bill to make certain footwear eligible for duty-free treatment under the Generalized System of Preferences, and for other purposes.
This bill amends the Trade Act of 1974 to authorize the President to designate certain footwear as eligible for duty-free treatment under the Generalized System of Preferences (GSP).
